#FOMCMeeting

The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting is a key event where U.S. monetary policy is shaped. It is held about eight times a year by the Federal Reserve. During these meetings, members assess economic indicators like inflation, employment, and GDP growth to decide on interest rates and other financial tools. The primary goal is to maintain price stability and support maximum employment. Markets closely watch the FOMC’s decisions and language for signals about rate hikes or cuts. These outcomes often impact global markets, affecting currency values, stock prices, and bond yields. Transparency and forward guidance are crucial aspects discussed.
