It's always helpful to know the Federal Reserve's meeting schedule for the year ahead. Here is the main event schedule for 2025: in January, March, May, June, July, September, October, and December — a total of eight interest rate meetings. Some of them include economic forecasts with point diagrams (March, June, September, and December). It's important to keep track of this if you trade cryptocurrencies or stocks — each Fed decision can significantly impact the market. The meetings where forecasts are released are especially interesting — they often cause big movements. I personally check these dates in my calendar so I don't get caught off guard by unexpected swings. If you want to stay informed about potential changes in Fed policy, here is the full schedule for the year.
