#FOMCMeeting

The FOMC Meeting refers to the Federal Open Market Committee gathering, typically held eight times a year by the U.S. Federal Reserve. In these meetings, policymakers assess the state of the U.S. economy, inflation, employment, and global conditions to determine monetary policy. A key focus is whether to raise, lower, or maintain the federal funds rate, which influences interest rates across the economy. Traders, investors, and economists closely watch FOMC decisions and statements for clues about future economic direction. Market volatility often increases around FOMC meetings, as their outcomes significantly impact stocks, bonds, currencies, and crypto markets worldwide.
