The Federal Reserve released on Wednesday the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting that took place on September 15‑16, 2026. Consistent with past practice, the document was made public roughly three weeks after the policy decision. The minutes outline the economic and financial conditions the Committee considered, based solely on information that was available at the time of the meeting. The complete text can be accessed in HTML and PDF formats on the Board’s website. For media inquiries, the Fed provides the email address [email protected] and the phone number 202‑452‑2955.
These minutes are a primary reference for analysts monitoring monetary policy, as they offer clues about the Committee’s view on inflation, employment and GDP growth. While the release does not contain a new policy decision, its content often shapes market expectations about the Fed’s future stance. At the same time, the cryptocurrency market showed Bitcoin priced at $83,368.01, down 2.21 % over the past 24 hours, and Ethereum at $2,584.32, down 3.81 % in the same period.
