#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is a key event for global financial markets, as the Federal Reserve discusses and sets monetary policy, including interest rates.

The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for June 17-18, 2025. The policy statement is typically released at 2:00 PM ET (18:00 UTC) on the second day of the meeting, followed by a press conference with the Federal Reserve Chair at 2:30 PM ET (18:30 UTC).

Market participants are closely watching these meetings, particularly for any indications of future interest rate changes, especially following the FOMC's decision to maintain the federal funds rate at 4.25%-4.50% at its May 8, 2025 meeting. Many analysts and futures markets are pricing in a likelihood of a rate cut in the near future.
