Fed revises tentative 2027 meeting schedule, setting October strategy session

The Federal Reserve has published a revised tentative schedule for its 2027 Federal Open Market Committee meetings, including a change in purpose for the October gathering: it will focus on broad monetary policy strategy rather than a usual policy decision announcement.

The committee is scheduled to meet on 26–27 January, 16–17 March, 27–28 April, 8–9 June, 27–28 July, 14–15 September and 26–27 October. It will also meet on 16–17 November, followed by a meeting on 25–26 January 2028.

The Fed says it plans to announce policy decisions on the second day of each meeting, except in October. The schedule is tentative.
