Fed Chair Press Conference
Definition
The Federal Reserve Chair’s live Q&A 30 minutes after each policy decision, used to explain the statement and shape expectations for the path ahead.
Why investors care
Off-the-cuff answers routinely move markets more than the statement itself, clarifying the reaction function and the bar for future moves.
What to watch
Watch how the Chair characterizes risks as “balanced” or “two-sided” — it telegraphs the next meeting’s bias.
