#FOMCMeeting

It is the meeting where the makers of monetary policy at the U.S. Central Bank (the Federal Reserve) gather to discuss the state of the economy and make pivotal decisions, such as adjusting interest rates.

Why is it important?

Because the decision made can move global markets!

Raise interest rates? The dollar rises, and stocks may fall.

Lower interest rates? The opposite occurs.

How many times is it held?

The meeting is held about 8 times a year, and each time investors around the world await it as if it were a World Cup final!

And what is its goal?

Achieving a delicate balance between:

Supporting economic growth

And controlling inflation.
