The FED interest rates are defined in this market by the upper bound of the target federal funds rate. The decisions on the target federal funds rate 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: September 15-16; October 27-28; and December 8-9. 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 cut will be encompassed by "Other". Emergency rate changes 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.htmRecent FOMC action and the September 2026 dot plot anchor trader pricing for the October and December meetings. The Committee unanimously raised the federal funds target range 25 basis points to 3.75–4.00 percent on September 16, citing persistently elevated inflation with median PCE projections revised to 3.7 percent for 2026. Updated participant forecasts now place the appropriate policy rate at 4.1 percent by year-end, consistent with one additional tightening. Solid labor-market data, including a 4.1 percent unemployment rate and resilient payrolls, have reduced downside risks and supported the hawkish tilt. Market-implied probabilities reflect this path, with sequences featuring further hikes in October or December commanding the highest consensus backed by real capital at risk. Upcoming October data releases and the next FOMC statement remain key near-term catalysts.
