FOMC Meeting and Rate Decision
FOMC Meeting and Rate Decision for July 2026 is scheduled for release at 14:00 EDT on 29 July 2026.
What it measures
The Federal Open Market Committee sets the target range for the federal funds rate. The statement is released at the close of the second day; a press conference follows, and the minutes are published three weeks later. Four of the eight meetings a year also carry the Summary of Economic Projections.

History
Loading chart…
A note on vintages Economic data is revised. This chart plots the series as it stands today — the current vintage — not the figure that was first published on each release day. A revised number can differ materially from the print the market actually saw, so this line is a record of what we now believe happened, not a record of what was known at the time.
Impact on the Treasury curve
Medium 0.93 bp from the 2s10s curve
On this indicator’s past release days the Treasury curve moved that much more than it did on a quiet day — a day on which none of the tracked indicators released — across 101 clean release days , with 96 excluded because another tracked release landed the same day. It is a backward-looking measure of what already happened. It is not a forecast of the next release, and it is not advice. Read the full methodology.

The dates the agency actually published on, newest first. These are release days, not the reference periods the figures describe.
No consensus, and why
No consensus shown — we don’t license survey estimates. The “expected” figure on a commercial calendar is a survey of economists sold by a data vendor. It is not a government work, there is no public-domain source for it, and we would rather say so than print an empty column. There are no prediction-market odds here either, for the same licensing reason.
