Sticky inflation and robust U.S. labor data dominate trader sentiment on Polymarket, driving a 66% implied probability for Fed pauses across the April, June, and July meetings, outpacing alternatives like Pause-Cut-Pause at 41%. March CPI printed at 3.5% year-over-year—core 3.8%—hotter than expected, while nonfarm payrolls surged 303,000, underscoring economic resilience that tempers rate-cut urgency ahead of the Fed's 2% target. CME FedWatch aligns, showing under 5% odds for an April cut and ~30% for June, reflecting Powell's data-dependent rhetoric post-March dot plot signaling three 2024 cuts but later in the year. Traders await April CPI and PCE for disinflation cues, with Pause-Pause-Pause as consensus amid persistent services inflation.
