#FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the U.S. Federal Reserve’s key policymaking body. It meets regularly to set interest rates and guide monetary policy, primarily through adjustments to the federal funds rate. These decisions directly impact inflation, employment, and economic growth. In 2025, the FOMC plays a vital role amid persistent inflation concerns and global economic uncertainty. Traders, investors, and economists closely monitor FOMC meetings, as even minor changes can move stock markets, crypto prices, and the value of the U.S. dollar. Simply put, the FOMC’s actions shape the financial landscape both in the U.S. and globally.
