Illustrative data · Live rates and meeting dates update continuously in the Pro terminal
No event moves currency markets more reliably than a central bank rate decision. Understanding the policy trajectory of each major bank is non-negotiable for serious forex and macro traders.
Interest rate hikes strengthen a currency by attracting yield-seeking capital. Cuts weaken it. But markets trade the expectation — TNT tracks every data point that shapes rate path forecasts, so you're positioned before the announcement.
A single sentence from a Fed Chair speech or ECB President statement can move EUR/USD 80 pips. TNT covers all scheduled and ad-hoc central bank speeches with live wire feeds, hawkish/dovish tone tagging and instant squawk alerts for key phrases.
Post-meeting policy statements contain the forward guidance markets trade on. TNT delivers the full statement text alongside instant analyst commentary, so you understand the nuance — not just the headline rate number.
Never be caught off-guard. TNT's rate decision calendar lists every upcoming meeting for all tracked central banks, with countdown timers and pre-meeting consensus forecasts so you know what markets are pricing in advance.
TNT tracks 12+ central banks responsible for the world's most traded currencies. Benchmark rates shown reflect the most recent published policy decisions. Live rates update continuously in the terminal.

Interest rate decisions are the single biggest driver of forex markets. When a central bank raises rates, its currency typically strengthens as higher yields attract capital inflows. Rate cuts weaken a currency. But the impact extends beyond the decision itself — forward guidance, dot plots and the tone of post-meeting press conferences can move currency pairs by hundreds of pips even when the rate stays unchanged. Traders who understand the full policy picture — not just the headline number — are far better positioned.
The Federal Reserve (Fed) has the greatest global impact because the US dollar is the world's reserve currency — every Fed decision ripples through all asset classes, from equities to emerging market bonds. The ECB is second, driving EUR and European risk assets. The BOJ has been increasingly market-moving due to its yield curve control policy shifts. The BOE, SNB, RBA and BOC each dominate their respective currency pairs and regional markets.
Trading News Terminal's Central Banks Tracker aggregates speech transcripts, live wire coverage and analysis the moment a central bank official starts speaking. Each speech is tagged by bank, official name and hawkish/dovish tone. You also receive squawk alerts for key phrases — rate path language, inflation forecasts, balance sheet guidance — so you never miss a market-moving comment mid-session, even when you're not watching the screen.
The Federal funds rate is the interest rate at which US commercial banks lend reserve balances to each other overnight. It is set by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) at meetings held approximately every six weeks. The Fed funds rate is the benchmark for US borrowing costs and anchors global risk pricing — changes in it affect everything from US mortgages and corporate credit spreads to emerging market currencies and gold prices.
Meeting frequency varies by institution: the Fed (FOMC) meets 8 times per year, roughly every 6 weeks. The ECB Governing Council meets every 6 weeks. The BOE Monetary Policy Committee meets 8 times per year. The BOJ Policy Board meets 8 times per year. The SNB meets quarterly — just 4 times per year — making each decision especially significant for CHF pairs. TNT's rate decision calendar displays every upcoming meeting date across all 12+ tracked central banks in a single unified view.
Founder, Trading News Terminal · Forex educator since 2013
Trading the FX market since 2013, with a focus on macro and central bank policy reading. Built Trading News Terminal to fix the speed gap between professional newswires (Reuters, Dow Jones) and the retail trader, after years of watching prop-firm desks get the call seconds before independent traders did.
Writes the daily Luís Barata Forex Trader blog (PT/BR) and the TNT analysis feed. Editorial focus: Fed dot plots, ECB forward guidance, BoJ yield-curve nuance, and how to fade the wire-first overreaction.
Meeting dates and benchmark rates on this page reflect the most recent official publications from each central bank. We cross-check every figure against primary sources before publishing:
Live wire content inside the terminal pulls from professional newswire feeds with sub-second latency. We do not aggregate from Telegram channels or social media for primary alerts. Tone tags (hawkish/dovish/neutral) are assigned by editorial review of each statement, not algorithmically.
