Fed meeting
Definition
Informal shorthand for a meeting of the United States Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), where policymakers discuss and announce decisions on interest rates, inflation targets, and monetary policy.
In financial and trading slang, any scheduled or emergency gathering of the Fed that markets obsess over like it's the economic equivalent of a plot twist in a blockbuster movie.
