This market will resolve immediately to “No” if any of the following conditions are met at any point by March 20, 2026, 11:59 PM ET: - The United States Federal Reserve increases or decreases the upper bound of the Target Federal Funds Rate. - The Bank of Japan increases or decreases the upper bound of the short-term policy interest rate. - The European Central Bank increases or decreases the upper bound of the deposit facility rate. - The Bank of Canada increases or decreases the target for the overnight rate. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “Yes”. The full rules for this market can be found here: https://polymarket-upload.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Nothing-Ever-Happens-Interest-Rates-e9f9058457.jpgTrader consensus on Polymarket reflects near-certain odds of 100% for "Yes" on no interest rate changes, driven primarily by the Federal Reserve's November FOMC decision to hold the federal funds rate at 4.75%-5.00%, signaling a pause after September's 50-basis-point cut amid sticky inflation above 2% and robust jobs data. Market-implied probabilities from CME FedWatch align closely, pricing minimal near-term adjustment risk ahead of the December 18 meeting, with dot-plot projections for just two 2025 cuts. This high confidence stems from resilient U.S. economic growth and Powell's data-dependent rhetoric emphasizing caution. Tail risks include a surprise inflation spike prompting hikes or sharp labor weakness forcing emergency cuts, though both appear improbable given current trajectories.
