[The Fed's Remaining Three Policy Meetings This Year: Markets Closely Watch the Late July Policy Window] ⑴ The Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) schedule for the remainder of the year is now clear. The late July meeting will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday local time, with a policy statement released Wednesday afternoon, followed by a press conference by the Chairman. ⑵ Regular meetings are scheduled for September, October, and December, all following the convention of releasing a statement and holding a press conference the following afternoon. In December, due to daylight saving time, the statement release and press conference will be postponed by one hour. ⑶ The full-year policy calendar extends to early 2028, indicating that the Fed is proceeding with its monetary policy deliberations at a fixed pace. Market participants will dynamically adjust their expectations for the interest rate path based on economic data and official speeches before and after each meeting. ⑷ The late July meeting, as a key juncture at the start of the third quarter, will consider the inflation trajectory, the resilience of the labor market, and the impact of geopolitical risks on the growth outlook to determine whether to further adjust the policy stance.
