#FOMCMeeting

These meetings are held 8 times a year to discuss monetary policy, and what is primarily monitored is the decision regarding the interest rate and the direction of the American economy.

The outcomes of the meeting influence the markets, including the dollar, gold, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. If the interest rate is increased, gold and bitcoin often tend to decrease while the dollar strengthens. If it is maintained or lowered, riskier assets may increase. Thus, investors or traders can take advantage of forecasts and outcomes, and adjust their positions before or after the announcement based on expected market movements.
