MDS / FOMC
FOMC - US Federal Reserve decision
What it measures
The Federal Reserve committee sets US monetary policy. The rate and comments about future decisions both matter.
Why traders follow it
A more hawkish decision than expected may support USD and weigh on gold. A more dovish decision suggests the opposite scenario. Also review projections and the press conference because the initial reaction can change.
Check the country, period and source. A single value or regime label does not determine a trade's direction.
