How Сan FOMC Impact USD?
What will happen?
The Federal Open Market Committee, a committee within the Federal Reserve (the Fed), will reveal a detailed record of the central bank’s meeting on April 6, at 21:00 MT. The record provides an in-depth understanding of the economic and financial conditions that influenced the Fed members’ vote on setting interest rates. It’s usually published eight times per year, three weeks after the Federal Funds Rate is announced.
How can USD react?
The Fed raised the rate by 25 basis points in its last release. The US economic activity and employment rate keep growing. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting the supply-demand imbalance associated with the pandemic, higher energy prices, and broader price pressures. Moreover, Russia's invasion of Ukraine causes enormous human and economic hardships. The implications for the US economy are highly uncertain. Besides, the invasion and the related issues are likely to put upward pressure on inflation and dampen economic activity in the near term.
The FOMC Meeting Minutes release from February 16, 2022, slightly decreased USD by 182 points.
