What is Interest Rate Decision?

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) sets the target range for the federal funds rate eight times per year. The decision, statement and dot plot shape US Dollar trends for months.

Trading Implications

Fed days produce sustained trends rather than single-candle spikes. The dot plot and Powell's press conference language move markets more than the rate decision itself. USD/JPY is especially sensitive.
