Polymarket traders, wagering real capital, price a 98.4% implied probability of no Federal Reserve rate change at the April 28-29 FOMC meeting, reflecting resilient labor market data and persistent inflation pressures. Yesterday's March nonfarm payrolls report showed a robust 178,000 job gain—reversing February's decline—with unemployment dipping to 4.3%, supporting the Fed's 3.50%-3.75% federal funds target range amid sticky core inflation. Geopolitical tensions from the Iran war have spiked oil prices, prompting Chair Powell's recent "wait and see" stance on potential temporary shocks following the March hold. Key upcoming catalysts include March CPI data on April 10; a softer-than-expected print could marginally lift cut odds, though economic strength limits realistic challenges to the hold consensus.

This market will resolve to the amount of basis points the upper bound of the target federal funds rate is changed by versus the level it was prior to the Federal Reserve's April 2026 meeting.
If the target federal funds rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded up to the nearest 25 and will resolve to the relevant bracket. (e.g. if there's a cut/increase of 12.5 bps it will be considered to be 25 bps)
The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meeting scheduled for April 28-29, 2026 according to the official calendar: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm.
