#FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, currently underway from June 17-18, 2025, is a pivotal event for global markets. The Committee, a key part of the U.S. Federal Reserve, convenes eight times annually to assess economic conditions and determine monetary policy.
While market participants largely anticipate the federal funds rate to remain unchanged this meeting (currently 4.25%-4.5%), the focus is keenly on the updated Summary of Economic Projections, or "dot plot." This release will offer insights into policymakers' future interest rate expectations, influencing everything from lending costs to investment decisions worldwide. Any hawkish or dovish shifts in tone will significantly impact currency markets, bond yields, and stock performance.
