Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 76% implied probability for the Federal Reserve maintaining its federal funds rate at 3.50%-3.75% across April, June, and July FOMC meetings, driven by the March 17-18 policy statement holding rates steady amid sticky February CPI at 2.4% year-over-year and a softening labor market with nonfarm payrolls declining 92,000. Geopolitical tensions, including the Iran conflict spiking energy prices, have elevated 2026 rate hike odds above 50% per CME FedWatch Tool—now showing 98% April pause probability—tempering cut expectations reflected in the Fed's dot plot forecasting just one 25 basis point reduction later this year. Key catalysts ahead include the March jobs report and CPI release on April 10, ahead of the April 28-29 meeting.
