The FOMC meeting minutes are "released" to the press @ a certain time several days after the actual meeting took place. There's not a video where someone reads the minutes. It's just a summary of what was said @ the meeting between the members of the FOMC.

Where can this information that is read be heard from on the dot when it's released? Looking at trading the FOMC meeting minutes.

Just watch the Forex Factory news. The minutes are usually released @ 2PM eastern time about 3 weeks after the meeting. There's usually 8 meetings a year.

***If you like to play crazy moves you might as well watch for all the "high-impact" news releases on FF rather than playing just 8 times a year. There's plenty other days you can trade the same wild moves :-)

Making your own deductions from the meeting minutes can be disastrous. Just tune into Bloomberg radio and you'll get all the info you need including the keywords that the markets are looking for. That is the key and they become the major market movers. Minutes are a press release, no video (unlike the press conference that follows for most of the Fed's monthly policy review).

You're right it can be disastrous that's why I don't trade off of speeches etc and only pay attention to news releases with some higher or lower figures and numbers involved. But I know fomc has been a big quick mover before so I decided to learn a little more about this one.

Mixed... If you don't have any open positions, better to come back with fresh eyes and by then markets should have made sense of the direction.

Great panel discussion about young people and employment in the current environment.
So far, based on the interviews, it's a mixed perception of pessimism and optimistic views toward employment.
When asked whether they would rather have a long-term career or a high-paying job, those interviewed said they'd rather have a long-term career. Many young people do not believe that their job options will be very promising without post-secondary degrees.

Still don't know what the Fed said regarding today's announcement, but watching this panel is a real slice of reality that we don't necessarily get from the Fed in the first place. From the way the market is reacting, apparently the announcement was also a mixed bag of tricks.

I agree though I think I'm just not comfortable trading volatility off of speeches. I probably won't attempt again.

FOMC statement at best is like asking a bunch of junior high school kids to write a book report. Obviously, there will be lots of differing meanings derived from the same piece of text. For FOMC, what matters is what the majority of the markets see it as. Simple as that. And as a thumb rule, if something is confusing, stay away from it rather than risk your money and gamble.

In regards to this latest FOMC, firstly the context was that October's statement was more hawkish than expected, considering just the previous month the Fed was dovish (which again was misread as hawkish during the statement, but turned dovish during the minutes) and was concerned about unemployment and inflation.

So with October's FOMC turning out to be hawkish (because it was mid-term elections in the US and the Fed usually doesn't mess around these important events), markets were expecting to see the minutes showing more towards the hawks in the Fed, but the minutes turned out to be vague, which is why the markets were choppy yesterday and pairs like Euro and Pound managed to keep their gains.

As to FOMC being a market mover, I think the statement/press conference see's larger moves than the minutes, unless the minutes themselves reflect what the statement was all about.
