Trader consensus on Polymarket overwhelmingly favors no Federal Reserve rate change (76.5%) at the July 30-31 FOMC meeting, driven by persistent inflation above the 2% target—June CPI at 3.0% YoY and core PCE hovering near 2.6%—coupled with a resilient labor market showing 206,000 jobs added in June and unemployment steady at 4.1%. Recent softer-than-expected CPI and PPI prints have boosted 25 basis point cut odds to 15.5% from near-zero post-June FOMC, where the dot plot projected just one reduction this year, likely in September. Hawkish Fed rhetoric underscores data dependence, positioning hikes (5.9% for +25bps) as tail risks amid balanced growth. These market-implied odds reflect real capital betting on steady policy amid cooling but sticky price pressures.

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 July 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 July 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 July 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.
