Fed minutes
MacroDefinition
Detailed minutes of the FOMC meeting, released 3 weeks after each meeting. Reveal internal debate, dovish/hawkish split, and forward-policy discussions.
Markets parse minutes for hints of impending policy shifts (rate-cut signals, QT pace changes). Often more informative than the post-meeting statement, which is heavily diplomatic.
