Trader sentiment on Polymarket tilts toward minimal Fed rate cuts in 2026, with zero cuts (0 bps) leading at 35.6% implied probability versus 26.5% for one (25 bps), reflecting a resilient U.S. economy curbing aggressive easing expectations. The September FOMC dot plot projected two cuts (50 bps total), but sticky core PCE inflation near 2.7% headline, unemployment steady at 4.1%, and Q3 GDP growth exceeding 3% have fueled skepticism, as traders price in sustained 4.25-4.50% fed funds range. Competitive dynamics hinge on December FOMC signals and early 2025 CPI/NFP data; softer prints could boost one-cut odds, while strength solidifies zero-cut consensus backed by real capital at stake.

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.
