According to minutes from the Federal Reserve’s July meeting, Chair Kevin Warsh is exploring a move to six scheduled FOMC meetings a year — a shift that would mark the Fed’s leanest cadence in decades and reshape how markets interpret policy signals.

How The Schedule Works Now

Currently, the FOMC meets eight times a year, with different gaps between meetings. Moving to six meetings a year would allow for more economic news between meetings and perhaps more consistent timing.

It might also reflect Warsh’s desire for the Fed to speak less about monetary policy. Fewer meetings might also mean fewer press conferences, fewer economic projections and the Fed generally spending less time talking about potential future monetary policy.
