This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) holds an emergency meeting after which the upper bound of the target federal funds rate is lowered between November 11, 2025 and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". An emergency meeting is defined as any unscheduled meeting called by the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) apart from the regular eight pre-scheduled meetings for 2025 and the regular eight pre-scheduled meetings for 2026. The resolution source will be official announcements from the Federal Reserve’s website (federalreserve.gov) or credible news sources reporting on the emergency meeting.Resilient U.S. economic data underpin the 93.5% market-implied odds against a Federal Reserve emergency rate cut before 2027. The fed funds target remains at 3.50–3.75% after multiple holds, supported by July 2026 unemployment at 4.1% and steady inflation readings that have shifted some FOMC participants toward possible hikes rather than easing. Traders view the absence of acute financial stress or sharp downturn signals as keeping standard policy tools sufficient, consistent with historical precedent that emergency cuts occur only amid severe crises. A deep recession or systemic shock could still alter the path, though current indicators show limited near-term risk of such events.
