The Federal Reserve publishes no release time on its calendar, so none is shown.
Second day of the 27–28 October meeting. The Fed does not publish a release time on this calendar.
Why it matters
It sets the price of dollars. The statement wording and the projections usually matter more to the market than the rate itself.
That is a description of how the market treats it, not a prediction and not a reason to trade it. Nothing on this site tells you what a release will say.
