The one Fed meeting left in 2026

The FOMC holds eight scheduled meetings a year, and one is left in 2026, on December 8-9. It comes with the Committee's quarterly Summary of Economic Projections — the closest thing to an official forecast the Fed publishes — which makes it the closing event of the Fed's year.

December 8-9	Decision announced the 9th; economic projections published — last meeting of the year

The CPI reports that sit in between

CPI releases land roughly a month apart and are one of the inputs the Committee weighs most directly. A print that runs hotter or cooler than expected can move crypto on its own, well before the next Fed meeting happens.

The 2027 Fed meeting dates

The Fed has already published a preliminary 2027 schedule. Each date is tentative until it is confirmed at the meeting before it, so treat these as the plan rather than a promise.

How to actually use this calendar

None of these dates tell you which way price will move — they tell you when volatility is more likely than on an average day. If you hold spot crypto through all of them regardless, the calendar is background context. If you want a short-term position around a specific date, a CFD account lets you take it in either direction, inside a regulated leverage cap, without owning the coin. What changed at the last meeting, and what to watch at the next, is in our Fed rate decision guide.
