Expecting three interest rate hikes? Look at the FOMC calendar in 2022

Please save or comment the post. I think we would care about Fed's meeting for several times in 2022.

According to the latest Dot Plot, the majority of Fed members forecast three interest rate hikes in 2022 to fight inflation. Investors think that Fed's plan is to finish winding down its bond purchases in March and begin increasing interest rates after that.


About the FOMC

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) holds eight regularly scheduled meetings per year. At these meetings, the Committee reviews economic and financial conditions, determines the appropriate stance of monetary policy, and assesses the risks to its long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth.

The FOMC consists of twelve members--the seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; and four of the remaining eleven Reserve Bank presidents, who serve one-year terms on a rotating basis.
