#FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is a key event where U.S. monetary policy is set. It occurs eight times a year, bringing together Federal Reserve officials to assess economic conditions like inflation, employment, and growth. Based on this analysis, the FOMC decides whether to raise, lower, or hold interest rates. These decisions impact global financial markets, borrowing costs, and investor sentiment. Traders, economists, and policymakers closely watch the meeting outcomes and Fed Chair’s comments for future guidance. In June 2025, markets are anticipating potential signals on rate cuts or continued tightening depending on inflation trends and economic resilience.
