#FOMCMeeting The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting is an important gathering of the US central bank (The Fed) that determines monetary policy, such as interest rates and the money supply, with significant impacts on global financial markets, including forex, stocks, and crypto. FOMC decisions can affect the value of the US dollar, inflation, and investor sentiment. A hawkish stance (tight, inclined to raise interest rates) typically strengthens the dollar, while a dovish stance (loose, inclined to lower interest rates) can weaken the dollar and push up prices of assets like gold or crypto. Markets often react volatilely before and after FOMC announcements, so traders need to be cautious and monitor official statements and meeting minutes for further insights.
