U.S. Federal Reserve Meeting 2025: Date, Time, What to Expect, and How to Watch Jerome Powell's Speech Live After the conclusion of the two-day meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee will announce its policy decisions at 2 PM Eastern Time on May 7 (11:30 PM Indian Standard Time). The U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will hold its scheduled meeting on May 6 and 7. This meeting will evaluate the current economic conditions of the world's strongest economy, led by Jerome Powell. During this session, the Federal Open Market Committee will consider whether changes in interest rates are necessary, which could affect the direction of U.S. monetary policy. Current rates remain unchanged at 4.25% to 4.5% since December 2024. The Federal Open Market Committee typically meets eight times a year to discuss matters related to U.S. inflation and interest rates. However, this will be one of the most closely watched Federal Reserve outcomes, particularly by U.S. President Donald Trump, who wants to lower prices, according to reports.
