What the Fed publishes, and what each thing is worth
Not everything from the Federal Reserve carries the same weight. Confusing a single governor's speech with a committee decision is the most common mistake.
| Document | Whose view | When | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOMC statement | The committee | Final day of the meeting | The rate decision and forward guidance. The heaviest document |
| Projections (SEP) | Distribution of participants' forecasts | Quarterly, with the statement | The dot plot and the median rate path |
| Chair's press conference | The Chair | 30 minutes after the statement | The intent behind the wording; the Q&A is where it shows |
| Minutes | The committee's discussion | About three weeks later | Dissents, and where opinion split |
| Speeches | One individual | Anytime | Where each official stands. Not a decision |
| Testimony | The Chair, on the record | Twice yearly and ad hoc | Wider ground, driven by legislators' questions |
Read the statement as a diff
FOMC statements follow the same skeleton every time, so the words that changed are the message. "Expanding at a moderate pace" becoming "the pace of expansion has slowed", or a sentence about further tightening simply disappearing — that is what moves markets. Comparing against the previous statement gets you there faster than reading it straight through.
The minutes show the split
The statement is smoothed into consensus language; the minutes are not. Phrases like "several participants" and "a few participants" map loosely onto headcounts, and how large the minority was feeds into the next decision. The catch is the three-week lag: data released in between may already have moved the ground.
Speeches are not decisions
Governors and regional presidents speak for themselves, and many speakers do not hold a vote in a given year. They are still worth following, because when several officials start using the same phrase, the next statement often follows. Read them as a set, not one by one.
Why we link to the originals
Policy documents acquire interpretation the moment they are translated or summarised, and as above, the substitution of single words is the message. We handle collection and ordering; the reading should happen in the source text.
