Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 66% implied probability that the Federal Reserve's target range lower bound will reach 3.25% or below before December 31, 2026, with 100% certainty already achieved at 3.50% and 40% odds for 3.00%, reflecting the March 17-18 FOMC's decision to hold the federal funds rate steady at 3.50%-3.75% amid February CPI inflation holding at 2.4% year-over-year. The updated dot plot signals just one 25 basis point cut for 2026, aligning with CME FedWatch's 95%+ probability of an April hold and muted easing path through year-end. Steady labor markets and anchored inflation expectations limit aggressive cuts, while low single-digit odds on hikes above 4.25% underscore caution; key catalysts include April 10 CPI data and the April 28-29 FOMC meeting.
