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 fund range are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meeting scheduled for December 13-14 according to the official calendar: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if following the Federal Reserve's December 2022 meeting the upper bound of the target federal funds rate is increased exactly 50 basis points over the level it was prior to the meeting. Otherwise, it will resolve to “No.”

The level and change of the target federal funds rate is also published at the official website of the Federal Reserve at https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm.

This market may resolve as soon as the FOMC’s statement for their December meeting with relevant data is issued.

If no statement is released by December 21, 2022, 11:59:59 PM ET, this market will resolve 50-50.
