Polymarket traders price a 96.5% implied probability of no change in the federal funds rate at the April 28-29 FOMC meeting, reflecting strong consensus following the March 18 decision to hold the target range steady at 3.50%-3.75% amid stable February CPI inflation at 2.4% year-over-year, aligning closely with the Fed's 2% target. Updated dot plots projected just one rate cut for all of 2026, signaling a neutral policy stance amid solid labor market conditions and contained price pressures, with Treasury yields stable and minimal volatility. This positioning could face challenges from hotter-than-expected March CPI data due April 10 or escalating geopolitical risks pushing energy prices higher, potentially reviving hike or cut discussions.

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.
