what happened

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh said the central bank plans to turn one of its eight annual meetings next year into a session focused on strategy. For that meeting, the Fed does not intend to issue the traditional policy statement it now publishes after each of the eight gatherings.

The format of the meeting and whether any public readout will be provided have not been announced yet. This item is part of a Wall Street Journal live coverage event.

why it matters

Without a closing statement, markets lose a familiar signal about the Fed's direction, so participants may look to other sources such as meeting minutes and official speeches. For the dollar and Treasuries, this means less clarity on the rate outlook.
