Polymarket traders price a tight race for Fed rate cuts in 2026, with one 25bps cut (31.5%) edging out two cuts (23.5%) and zero cuts (22.9%), signaling consensus on subdued easing amid economic resilience. This sentiment stems from the December FOMC dot plot's upward revision to the neutral rate near 2.9%, sticky core PCE inflation above 2%, and robust jobs data reducing recession odds. Potential fiscal stimulus under incoming policies adds inflationary tailwinds, capping cut expectations below three (9.5% combined). Key differentiators include Q1 2025 CPI prints and the March dot plot; a break below 2% core inflation could boost two-cut odds, while hotter growth favors zero.

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.
