The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is a committee within the Federal Reserve System that is responsible for setting interest rates and conducting open market operations. The FOMC meets eight times per year, and its decisions are closely watched by investors and economists around the world.
The FOMC meeting in 2025 is particularly important because it will be the first meeting after the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to their highest level in several years. The FOMC is expected to discuss the possibility of further interest rate increases, as well as the impact of those increases on the economy.
