FOMC meeting minutes press lock up cancelled, minutes to be published at 1900 GMT

Following the earlier reports of the US government offices being shut down today due to severe weather, it’s been reported that the FOMC meeting minutes press lockup is canceled.

However, no changes to the timings for the publication of the FOMC minutes are reported. The minutes will be released at 1900 GMT.

Note that the press lockup allows the journalists to write up their report for release at the same time as the minutes themselves.
