FOMC Minutes

FOMC Minutes are the official records of the Federal Open Market Committee’s discussions held after their meetings. They provide details on economic conditions, outlooks, and the rationale behind their decisions on interest rates and monetary policy. These minutes help investors, analysts, and policymakers understand the committee’s perspectives and future plans, offering insight into how the U.S. central bank manages inflation, employment, and economic growth to maintain financial stability. They are typically released a few weeks after each meeting, fostering transparency and informing financial markets.
