#FOMCMeeting The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting is a key event where U.S. monetary policy is determined. Held regularly by the Federal Reserve, it involves discussions on interest rates, inflation, employment, and economic growth. Markets closely watch the FOMC’s decisions and statements, as they influence global financial conditions. The committee may raise, lower, or maintain interest rates to control inflation or stimulate the economy. Traders, investors, and analysts pay close attention to the meeting minutes and press conferences for policy signals. FOMC outcomes can impact stock markets, bond yields, and currency values, shaping economic expectations both in the U.S. and globally.
