What is FOMC Rate Decision?

The Federal Reserve's policy decision, released at 2:00 PM ET eight times a year, followed by the Chair's press conference at 2:30 PM ET.

Why it moves markets

The decision itself is often priced in; the statement wording, the dot plot and the press conference move markets. Hawkish surprises lift the dollar and yields; dovish ones help stocks, gold and crypto.
