Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 36.4% implied probability for zero Fed rate cuts in 2026, narrowly ahead of 26.5% for one 25 bps cut, signaling expectations of a resilient U.S. economy with inflation stabilizing near the Fed's 2% target. This competitive split reflects recent robust nonfarm payrolls (e.g., +206K in November) and cooling core PCE at 2.7% annualized, reducing recession risks and cut urgency per the September dot plot's 2.9% terminal rate projection by end-2026. Key differentiators include sticky services inflation favoring zero cuts versus potential growth slowdowns from tariffs or fiscal tightening prompting one; watch December FOMC projections and Q1 2025 CPI for shifts in these market-implied odds.

Emergency rate cuts outside of scheduled FOMC meetings will also count toward the total number of cuts in 2026. This market will remain open until December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, to account for any such emergency actions.
For example, if the Fed cuts rates by 50 bps after a meeting, it would be considered 2 cuts (of 25 bps each).
This market will resolve early to "No" if the specified number of cuts becomes impossible — i.e., if more cuts have already occurred than the strike in question.
Note that cuts between 1–24 bps (inclusive) will also be considered 1 rate cut.
The resolution source for this market will be FOMC statements after meetings scheduled in 2026 according to the official calendar: 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 at https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm.
