FOMC rate decision (May 2026)

AI Preview · -24h scenarios

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is scheduled to announce its rate decision on May 28th at 18:00 UTC. The market consensus anticipates no change, maintaining the federal funds rate at 4.25-4.50%. A hawkish surprise, such as an unexpected rate hike or significantly more restrictive forward guidance, would likely pressure BTC and the S&P 500 lower, while strengthening the USD and potentially weighing on gold. Conversely, a dovish surprise, like a rate cut or unexpectedly accommodative guidance, would typically support BTC and the S&P 500, weaken the USD, and boost gold.
