The Fed decision on BRVX
2:00 p.m. ET, during the US session
Unlike CPI or the jobs report, the FOMC statement lands while NYSE and Nasdaq are open, so BRVX stock perps and their exchange-listed shares react in the same hours.
Four meetings a year bring the dot plot
March, June, September and December meetings come with the Summary of Economic Projections: each official's rate path, growth and inflation estimates.
Minutes follow three weeks later
The Fed publishes the minutes of each meeting about three weeks after it; the date appears on the Fed calendar once the meeting has taken place.
