Traders' consensus on Polymarket prices a modest 0 (28.1%) or 1 (25.5%) 25-basis-point Fed rate cuts in 2026, with implied probabilities tightly contested amid resilient economic indicators. December's FOMC dot plot projected the federal funds rate at 3.9% by end-2025 and 3.4% by end-2026—suggesting roughly 50 basis points of easing—bolstered by November CPI inflation holding at 2.7% headline and 3.3% core year-over-year, alongside robust nonfarm payrolls and GDP revisions signaling sustained growth. Hawkish Fed communications underscore data dependence, reducing aggressive cut expectations. Competitive dynamics hinge on inflation's path toward 2% and labor market softening; upcoming catalysts include January 15 CPI data, Q1 employment reports, and quarterly FOMC meetings.

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.
