June 2025 FOMC Meeting Overview

Meeting Dates and Schedule

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is holding its latest policy meeting on June 17–18, 2025.

The interest rate decision will be announced on Wednesday, June 18, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), followed by a press conference with Fed Chair Jerome Powell at 2:30 PM ET.
