Trader consensus on Polymarket prices an 85.5% implied probability for Federal Reserve pauses at the March, April, and June 2026 FOMC meetings—aligning with the March 17-18 decision to hold the federal funds rate at 3.5%-3.75% for the second straight session—driven by resilient labor market data and sticky inflation risks. Yesterday's March nonfarm payrolls surged 178,000, rebounding sharply from February's revised decline and exceeding forecasts, while Fed projections lifted 2026 PCE inflation to 2.7% amid Middle East tensions pushing oil near $100 per barrel. This hawkish repricing leaves modest odds for a June cut at 9%, with the April 10 CPI release and April 28-29 meeting as pivotal catalysts ahead.
