The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the policy-making body of the US Federal Reserve. Its rate decisions set the federal funds target rate — the benchmark short-term interest rate that ripples through every financial market on earth. Because the US dollar is involved in approximately 88% of all global forex transactions, Fed decisions move not just USD pairs but also EUR, GBP, JPY, gold, oil and equity indices worldwide.
The FOMC meets 8 times per year (roughly every 6 weeks). The rate decision is announced at 14:00 ET (20:00 CET), followed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference at 14:30 ET. Four of the eight meetings per year also include the Summary of Economic Projections — commonly called the "dot plot" — which shows each FOMC member's individual rate forecast.
Four times a year (March, June, September, December), the FOMC releases the dot plot — a chart where each of the 19 FOMC participants places a dot representing where they expect rates to be at year-end and beyond. Markets focus intensely on:
