Nick Timiraos: Fed revises two FOMC meeting dates for 2027
Fed alters 2027 FOMC meeting calendar

The U.S. Federal Reserve has revised the schedule for two previously announced FOMC meetings for 2027.

Nick Timiraos, chief economics correspondent at Wall Street Journal, reports that the FOMC will meet on October 26-27, as originally planned, but that session will be designated as the strategy meeting with no policy action. The meeting that was originally set for December 7-8 will now be moved, though new dates have not yet been announced for that session. There are also no details yet for 2028 meeting dates.

In a related development, the administration plans to address Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2027–28, though Bessent has warned that any agreement must not widen mortgage spreads, according to a previous report. Separately, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield saw its largest single-day drop since March 2023, falling to 4.952% as noted by Nick Timiraos in an earlier article. These events reflect ongoing monitoring of future financial policy timelines and market movements.
