US Fed meeting October 2026 today: Expectations, date and time, when & where to watch Kevin Warsh's speech

The US Federal Reserve is set to announce its latest interest rate decision on Wednesday, 29 October. This is a routine meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which sets the benchmark federal funds rate. While the primary focus is the rate decision, investors will also closely watch the accompanying economic projections and the press conference with Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
For Indian investors, this event is significant because US interest rates influence global liquidity and capital flows. A rate hike can tighten global liquidity, potentially impacting emerging markets like India, while a rate cut can boost risk appetite. The outcome will also guide the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) own monetary policy stance for the coming months.
Investors should watch for any changes in the Fed's economic outlook and the 'dot plot,' which shows members' rate projections. These signals will help gauge the central bank's future path and its impact on global and Indian markets.
