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 held the federal funds rate steady at 3.50%-3.75% following its March 18, 2026 FOMC meeting, marking the second consecutive pause amid sticky core PCE inflation projected at 2.7% for 2026—up from prior estimates—and unemployment forecasted at 4.4%. The updated dot plot shows median officials anticipating just one 25-basis-point cut by year-end 2026 to around 3.4%, with a further easing to the low-3% range by end-2027, reflecting caution over persistent inflation pressures from oil shocks and resilient labor markets. CME FedWatch futures imply trader consensus for rates hovering near 3.7% through early 2027, with limited downside risks priced in. Traders eye April 28-29 FOMC, upcoming April CPI/PCE releases, and nonfarm payrolls as pivotal catalysts that could shift the easing path.
