The FED interest rates are defined in this market by the upper bound of the target federal funds range. The decisions on the target federal funds range are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. 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 September 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 September 15-16, 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 September 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.The Federal Reserve's unanimous 25 basis point rate increase at the September 2026 FOMC meeting reflects entrenched inflation above the 2% target, with core PCE readings near 3.4% and headline measures revised higher to 3.7%. A surge in energy prices tied to the U.S.-Iran conflict further elevated near-term price pressures, prompting Chair Kevin Warsh and the committee to prioritize a timely return to target over external calls for easing. Updated dot plot projections reinforced this path, with most participants signaling at least one additional hike by year-end. Trader consensus reached 100% on the 25 basis point move once incoming data and official communications aligned, leaving limited room for alternatives. Only an abrupt reversal in final pre-meeting indicators or an unforeseen policy pivot could have altered the outcome at that stage.
