#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is a key event where U.S. monetary policy decisions are made. Held eight times a year, the FOMC reviews economic conditions and determines interest rates and other policy measures to maintain price stability and support employment. Investors and economists closely watch these meetings for guidance on future interest rate changes. The committee releases a statement summarizing its views and decisions, often influencing financial markets worldwide. A press conference typically follows, providing further insight. The FOMC's actions can impact borrowing costs, inflation, and economic growth, making its meetings critical to both national and global economies.
