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 December 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 December 8-9, 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 December 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.Persistent inflation around 3.6-3.7% PCE, combined with a resilient labor market (unemployment near 4.1%) and solid GDP growth, underpins the 69.5% market-implied probability of a 25 basis point hike at the December FOMC meeting. The September 16 decision raised the federal funds target to 3.75%-4.00%, with the updated dot plot showing a 4.1% median endpoint for 2026 and 16 of 18 participants favoring at least one additional increase this year. Traders are pricing in further tightening to address supply-driven price pressures amid geopolitical uncertainty, while the low odds on cuts or larger moves reflect the Fed's data-dependent stance and limited room for surprises before year-end. Upcoming October CPI and employment releases remain key swing factors.
