FOMC meeting minutes

FOMC meeting minutes are detailed records of the discussions and decisions made during meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee, which is part of the U.S. Federal Reserve. These minutes provide insights into the committee's views on the economy, inflation, employment, and potential changes to monetary policy, such as interest rates. Released three weeks after each meeting, they help investors, analysts, and the public understand the rationale behind the Fed's decisions and its outlook for the economy, ultimately influencing financial markets and economic expectations.
