Trader consensus prices minimal near-term odds for a Federal Reserve rate cut, anchored by robust March 2026 nonfarm payrolls adding 178,000 jobs—far exceeding the 65,000 forecast—while unemployment held at 4.3%, underscoring labor market resilience amid cooling but sticky inflation. The federal funds rate remains at 3.50%-3.75% following the March 17-18 FOMC hold, with CME FedWatch implying over 98% chance of no change at the April 28-29 meeting and just 6% for a June 25-basis-point cut. Chair Powell's March 30 Harvard speech advocated a "wait and see" stance on geopolitical inflation risks, reinforced by February CPI at 2.4% year-over-year. Traders eye March CPI release April 10 as the pivotal catalyst ahead of April policy.
