Polymarket traders price a 96.1% implied probability on no Federal Reserve rate changes across the March, April, and June 2026 FOMC meetings, reflecting strong consensus after the Fed held the federal funds rate steady at 3.50%-3.75% in both prior sessions amid rising inflation pressures. The April CPI surged to 3.8% year-over-year—up from 3.3% in March and the highest since May 2023—driven by energy shocks from the Iran conflict, while nonfarm payrolls added a still-resilient 115,000 jobs despite cooling from March. This aligns with CME FedWatch Tool odds exceeding 97% for a June pause. Scenarios challenging this include a sharp May CPI drop below 3% or unemployment spiking above 4.5% ahead of the June 16-17 meeting.
