What it measures

The Federal Reserve sets its target range for the federal funds rate, its main tool for steering US borrowing costs and inflation toward 2%. Markets compare the decision and guidance with what was expected before the meeting.

Why it moves the USD

A higher-than-expected rate or a signal of fewer cuts generally supports the dollar by improving its yield appeal. A lower rate or more dovish path tends to weaken it; the statement and Chair's remarks can matter as much as the rate itself.
