Big macro event incoming!The FOMC meeting minutes from the December 9–10, 2025, policy meeting are scheduled for release today, December 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET (19:00 UTC).
Quick recap of that December meeting:
The Fed delivered a 25 basis point rate cut, bringing the federal funds rate target range to 3.50%–3.75%.
It was the third cut of 2025, but the vote wasn't unanimous (9-3 split), with some dissenters preferring a larger cut or no change at all. The updated dot plot signaled a more hawkish outlook for 2026, projecting fewer cuts than markets had been pricing in
Why these minutes matter:
Traders will scour them for deeper insights into:
The internal debates on inflation vs. labor market risks. How divided the committee really is heading into 2026. Any hints on the pace of future easing (or pauses) ahead of the next FOMC meeting on January 27–28, 2026.
Markets are in thin holiday trading, so volatility could spike—especially in rates, USD, equities, and risk assets like crypto. If the tone reveals more dovish leanings than expected, it could fuel upside; a confirmed hawkish vibe might pressure risk-on plays.Keep an eye on the release at federalreserve.gov! 🚀📈
