Persistent inflation pressures above the 2% target, elevated energy prices from Middle East supply shocks, and a resilient economy with solid growth and stable unemployment have shifted market-implied odds toward potential rate hikes at the September 15-16 and October 27-28 FOMC meetings. Following the July 29 hold at 3.50%-3.75% (9-3 vote with three dissents favoring a 25 basis point increase), futures and trader positioning now embed a higher federal funds rate path through year-end, favoring outcomes beyond the listed pause or cut sequences. The September decision remains the key near-term catalyst, with data on CPI, labor conditions, and geopolitical developments likely to refine these probabilities.
