What time is the FOMC minutes release today? The Federal Reserve drops the April FOMC minutes today, Wednesday May 20 2026, at 2:00 PM ET / 7:00 PM BST / 1:00 PM CT / 11:00 AM PT. We're going LIVE the moment the document hits. This is Jerome Powell's LAST FOMC minutes release as Fed Chair before Kevin Warsh, Trump's new Fed Chair pick, was sworn in on May 15 after the most partisan Senate confirmation vote in Federal Reserve history.
Will the Fed cut rates in 2026? Will the Fed HIKE rates? What do the FOMC minutes actually mean for retail investors, your portfolio, Bitcoin, XRP, the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and gold? We break it all down LIVE in plain English.
The April 28-29 Fed meeting produced FOUR dissents, the most divided FOMC vote since 1992. Three Federal Reserve presidents (Beth Hammack of Cleveland Fed, Neel Kashkari of Minneapolis Fed, Lorie Logan of Dallas Fed) dissented hawkishly. Stephen Miran dissented dovishly. The Fed held the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75%.
Why is the stock market falling? Why are Treasury yields rising? Why is the dollar so strong? Why is Bitcoin dropping? Why is XRP dropping? CME FedWatch and Polymarket now price NO rate cuts in 2026 with rate hike odds approaching 50% by year-end. April CPI inflation hit 3.8% year-over-year. April PPI shocked at 6.0%. Brent crude is near $110 a barrel from the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz oil shock. Stagflation is back in the conversation.
In this live FOMC minutes coverage we cover: what the FOMC minutes are and how to read them, the Fed code language (hawkish vs dovish signals), what every retail investor should watch for, how the minutes could move Bitcoin price, XRP price, NVIDIA stock NVDA, the S&P 500, US dollar DXY, gold price and 10-year Treasury yield. NVIDIA earnings drop after the close, so the volatility window is wide open.
