The FED interest rates are defined in this market by the lower or the upper bound of the target federal funds range. The decisions on the target federal fund range are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the lower or the upper bound of the target federal funds rate reaches the specified level at any point by December 31, 2026, 12:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” Emergency rate cuts and hikes outside the regularly scheduled meetings will be considered. The resolution source for this market is the official website of the Federal Reserve at: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm. This market may resolve as soon as the relevant data showing the reached level is published.The Federal Reserve’s September 16, 2026, decision to raise the federal funds target range 25 basis points to 3.75-4.00%—its first hike since 2023—reflects the primary driver of current trader sentiment, with updated projections showing a median endpoint of 4.1% for both year-end 2026 and 2027 amid elevated PCE inflation near 3.7%. Solid GDP growth around 2.3%, unemployment holding at 4.1%, and resilient consumer spending have reinforced the hawkish stance, as officials prioritize returning inflation to the 2% goal over near-term easing. Prediction markets price a second hike at the October 27-28 FOMC meeting near 56%, while assigning low odds to meaningful cuts before 2027. Key upcoming catalysts include the October CPI release, October FOMC dot plot updates, and December policy decision, which will clarify whether persistent price pressures sustain the higher-for-longer path or allow any reversal.
