The Federal Reserve has taken a scheduled October 2027 rate-setting meeting off its calendar. The central bank will hold one fewer policy meeting next year, so the timetable for rate decisions changes.

The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, has dropped a rate-setting meeting planned for October 2027 from the calendar of its Federal Open Market Committee. The change came with an announcement that the committee will hold one fewer such meeting next year.

The committee votes on the Fed's policy, including its benchmark interest rate, at its scheduled meetings. The announcement describes the revised schedule as tentative. No reason for the change was given.

For households, the Fed's rate decisions feed into borrowing costs for loans and mortgages, so a change in when those decisions are made is worth following. The announcement itself does not mention any change to interest rates.
