Trader sentiment on Polymarket heavily favors minimal Fed rate cuts in 2026, with zero cuts (0 bps) at 36.5% narrowly leading one cut (25 bps) at 27.5%, driven by persistent inflation above the 2% target and a resilient labor market—November payrolls added 227,000 jobs against expectations, keeping unemployment at 4.1%. The Fed's September dot plot signals a terminal rate near 3%, implying few 2026 adjustments if 2025 easing (market-priced at ~75 bps total) suffices. Competitive dynamics hinge on Q4 GDP and PCE data: sub-2% core inflation could boost one-cut odds to 35%, while sticky services prices solidify zero-cut consensus, as traders wager real capital on no recession forcing aggressive easing.

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.
