Fed revises 2027 FOMC schedule, October set for strategy

The Federal Reserve announced a revised tentative schedule of FOMC meetings in 2027, with the October 26-27 meeting dedicated to broad monetary policy strategy and no policy decision announced at it.

Why it matters: The revised calendar sets seven decision meetings in 2027 and no December meeting, so the year's last scheduled rate decision falls on November 17, which changes the dates markets will price around through next year.

That exception is the October 26-27 meeting, which will be dedicated to discussion of broad monetary policy strategy issues rather than a policy decision. The schedule lists no December 2027 meeting.
