Trader sentiment on Polymarket for Fed rate cuts in 2026 tilts toward minimal easing, with 0 cuts at 36% and 1 cut (25 bps) at 26.5% leading in a tight race, reflecting robust U.S. economic resilience amid sticky core inflation near 3%. Recent December CPI data showing persistent services inflation, coupled with a labor market at 4.1% unemployment and 3% GDP growth, bolsters hawkish bets on the Fed pausing after projected 2025 cuts to 3.75-4% via CME FedWatch Tool. Trump's tariff and fiscal expansion plans add inflationary tailwinds, differentiating no-cut scenarios (neutral rate ~2.9%) from single-cut doves eyeing slowdown risks, with March FOMC dot plot pivotal.

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.
