The FED interest rates are defined in this market by the upper bound of the target federal funds range. The decisions on the target federal funds range are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. This market will resolve according to the decisions made by the next three Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings: January 27–28, 2026; March 17-18, 2026; and April 28-29. A qualifying cut occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is lower compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting. A qualifying hike occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is higher compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting. A qualifying pause occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is equal to the level it was prior to the respective meeting. If the Fed publishes a different combination than any listed, this market will resolve to "Other". Any rate hike will be encompassed by "Other". Emergency rate cuts outside the regularly scheduled meetings will not be considered. The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meetings: 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: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htmTrader consensus on Polymarket overwhelmingly prices a Pause–Pause–Pause sequence for FOMC meetings in January, March, and April 2026 at 98%, reflecting confirmed steady federal funds rate holds at 3.5%–3.75% in the prior January 28 and March 18 decisions amid resilient economic conditions. Recent March nonfarm payrolls added a stronger-than-expected 178,000 jobs, with unemployment steady at 4.3%, while February CPI held at 2.4% year-over-year; however, Iran-related oil shocks have elevated inflation risks, reinforcing the Fed's cautious stance per its March dot plot projecting just one 2026 cut later in the year. Upcoming March CPI data on April 10 could influence April 28–29 expectations, but a sharp labor market deterioration would be needed to prompt an unlikely rate cut and challenge this positioning.
