Trader consensus on Polymarket overwhelmingly favors no change (94.7%) at the April 29-30 FOMC meeting, driven by resilient US economic data and sticky inflation that has tempered rate-cut expectations. March CPI rose 2.4% year-over-year—above forecasts—while core PCE held near 2.8%, unemployment remained at 4.1%, and robust payroll gains signal no urgency for easing. The Fed's March dot plot projects just two 25 bps cuts in 2025, aligning with CME FedWatch probabilities mirroring these odds. This positioning reflects real capital backing a pause amid growth above trend. Challenges include a sharp labor market downturn or sub-2% inflation print ahead of the meeting, though recent trends make such shifts improbable.

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.
The level and change of the target federal funds rate is also published at the official website of the Federal Reserve at https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm.
This market may resolve as soon as the FOMC’s statement for their April meeting with relevant data is issued. If no statement is released by the end date of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No change" bracket.
