FOMC minutes
The FOMC minutes are the written record of a Fed meeting, released three weeks after the decision at 11:30 PM IST, 12:30 AM in winter. They show the argument behind the vote and move markets when they read differently from what the chair said, as the October 2026 minutes with December odds at 71 cents did.
