Official release series FOMC Minutes the Fed minutes
When is the next Fed minutes release?
The Federal Reserve Board calendar copy JMM holds carries no further FOMC Minutes date. Every one of the 4 dated entries lands at 2:00 PM Eastern, on a quarterly interval, across the run from Feb 18, 2026 to Jul 8, 2026.
The Federal Reserve calendar states these dates and marks every future one tentative until the meeting before it confirms it. The calendar itself prints no clock. The 2:00 PM Eastern time is taken from the FOMC statement and minutes press releases, each of which carries the line "For release at 2:00 p.m." with the seasonal timezone; five of those documents were read for this schedule, so for a meeting whose release does not exist yet the time is that precedent rather than a captured fact.

What it measuresFOMC Minutes, in one paragraph
The minutes are the account of an FOMC meeting released three weeks after the decision. They name the arguments, the disagreements, and the conditions members attached to their votes, none of which appear in the statement itself.
What JMM reads first
The minutes matter most when the statement was ambiguous. Read them for the size of the minority: a decision described as unanimous in the statement can turn out to have had several members arguing the other way, and that split is the better predictor of the next meeting than the decision that was actually taken.

JMM's calendar copy holds no future date for this series. That is what the source supplied at the last collection, not a statement that the release has ended.
