FED Interest Rate Decision is made on a predetermined date during the vote among the members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) concerning the Federal Reserve short-term interest rates to be charged from credits and commercial bank loans.

The increasing rate can have a positive effect on USD, while a decrease can affect USD negatively. If the rate remains unchanged, the analysts evaluate the number of "for" and "against" votes and discuss statements of voters after the minutes of meeting are published in order to forecast the results of the next meeting.
