#FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is happening today, June 17, and tomorrow, June 18. Here's what you need to know¹ ²:

- *Meeting Purpose*: The FOMC will discuss and decide on monetary policy, including interest rates, based on the current economic conditions and inflation outlook.

- *Interest Rate Decision*: Experts expect the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25-4.50% due to inflation concerns and uncertainty around Trump's tariff policies.

- *Crypto Market Impact*: The crypto market has been booming, but it could crash if the Fed's decision differs from investors' expectations. Bitcoin and other digital assets have gained value in anticipation of a potential rate cut, but an unchanged rate might lead to a market downturn.

- *Dot Plot and Projections*: The FOMC will release its Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), or "dot plot," which will show the committee's expectations for monetary policy and interest rates going forward.

- *Fed Chair's Press Conference*: Jerome Powell's press conference will provide insights into the Fed's decision-making process and future policy directions.
