#FOMCMeeting The meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is a crucial event for the U.S. economy, as it determines the country's monetary policy. During these meetings, members analyze economic indicators such as inflation, unemployment, and GDP growth to decide whether to change interest rates. The FOMC's decisions influence financial markets, loans, and savings. In a context of rising inflation, the FOMC may choose to raise rates to cool down the economy. The transparency of post-meeting communications is essential, as it guides the expectations of investors and consumers.
