Polymarket traders price a 79.5% implied probability of no Federal Reserve rate change at the July 28-29, 2026 FOMC meeting, reflecting resilient labor market data and sticky inflation that have diminished near-term easing expectations. March 2026 CPI surged to 3.3% year-over-year—the largest monthly gain since 2022—despite a softer core reading at 2.6%, while nonfarm payrolls added a stronger-than-expected 178,000 jobs, lowering unemployment to 4.3%. Recent Fed speeches, including from Richmond Fed President Barkin, emphasize a "wait-and-see" stance amid the 3.50%-3.75% fed funds target range, with CME FedWatch aligning at similar odds for steady policy through June. A 14.5% chance of a 25 basis point cut persists on potential softening in upcoming April FOMC projections and May CPI data.

This market will resolve to the amount of basis points the upper bound of the target federal funds rate is changed by versus the level it was prior to the Federal Reserve's July 2026 meeting.
If the target federal funds rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded up to the nearest 25 and will resolve to the relevant bracket. (e.g. if there's a cut/increase of 12.5 bps it will be considered to be 25 bps)
The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meeting scheduled for July 28-29, 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.
This market may resolve as soon as the FOMC’s statement for their July meeting with relevant data is issued. If no statement is released by the end date of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No change" bracket.
