Trader consensus on Polymarket overwhelmingly backs a Federal Reserve rate cut in December followed by pauses in January and March, with 100% implied probability, driven by November's softer-than-expected CPI print showing core inflation at 2.7% year-over-year and resilient but cooling labor markets evidenced by October's 12,000 payroll gain. This aligns with Chair Powell's recent data-dependent stance amid a "solid" economy, tempering aggressive easing expectations after September's 50-basis-point cut. Supporting factors include steady disinflation toward the 2% target and balanced risks, per FOMC minutes. Challenges could arise from hotter December CPI on December 11 or robust jobs data on December 6, potentially shifting odds toward "Other" outcomes if growth surprises upward.
