an Actual guide to what FOMC meetings are 💅📈✨

Hellus all young & old...

✨ FOMC Meetings ✨love them, hate them, don't understand them? Either way, they're a key player in shaping the economy,

and believe it or not— YOUR finances. Here's why this meeting matters more than you think.

1️⃣ What Is the FOMC?

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets 8 times a year to set interest rates and guide the U.S. economy. Basically, they decide how expensive borrowing is going to be 💳

2️⃣ Why Should You Care?

Interest rates affect everything—your mortgage, credit card rates, and even student loans. The decisions made by the FOMC directly impact your borrowing costs and the value of your investments. 📈

3️⃣ What Happens in the Markets?

Investors keep a close eye on FOMC meetings because changes in interest rates can make stock prices rise or fall. Ever notice a sudden drop in the stock market? FOMC decisions are often behind the scenes. 🏦

4️⃣ Inflation & Recession Risks

High inflation means rising prices for everything. If the FOMC thinks inflation is out of control, they’ll raise interest rates to cool things down—but too fast, and we might end up in a recession. 😬

5️⃣ Global Impact 🌍

It’s not just the U.S. that cares. The whole world watches what happens at FOMC meetings. A rate change in the U.S. can impact global currencies and markets. 📉

6️⃣ Why It Matters to YOU

Whether you have loans, investments, or just keep money in the bank, FOMC meetings affect your financial life. Their decisions influence your wallet, so it’s worth paying attention to. 💰

So the next time you hear about an FOMC meeting, don’t tune out! It could impact your finances more than you think.
