Trader consensus on Polymarket overwhelmingly favors a Pause–Pause–Pause sequence for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings in January, March, and April 2026, with 97.8% implied probability, reflecting confirmed rate holds at the 3.5%-3.75% federal funds target range following the January 27-28 and March 17-18 decisions. This positioning stems from the March Summary of Economic Projections signaling just one 25 basis point cut later in 2026 amid sticky inflation—February CPI at 2.4% annually, March nowcasts around 3.25%—and a resilient labor market despite unemployment ticking to 4.4% in February with modest job losses. Elevated oil prices from geopolitical tensions further dampen near-term cut expectations, aligning with CME FedWatch probabilities near 95% for an April 28-29 hold. Realistic challenges include a softer-than-expected March CPI release on April 10 or sharper labor deterioration, potentially prompting earlier easing.

This market will resolve according to the decisions made by the next three Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings: January 27–28, 2026; March 17-18, 2026; and April 28-29.
A qualifying cut occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is lower compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting.
A qualifying hike occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is higher compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting.
A qualifying pause occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is equal to the level it was prior to the respective meeting.
If the Fed publishes a different combination than any listed, this market will resolve to "Other". Any rate hike will be encompassed by "Other".
Emergency rate cuts outside the regularly scheduled meetings will not be considered.
The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meetings:
https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm
