Recent hotter-than-expected April 2026 CPI data at 3.8% year-over-year, fueled by energy price spikes amid Middle East tensions, has shifted trader sentiment toward a higher-for-longer federal funds rate path. With the current target range at 3.50-3.75% and futures markets now assigning only modest odds to cuts through year-end, the 59.7% implied probability for a 3.75% rate at end-2026 reflects consensus that inflation risks outweigh labor-market softening. Recent FOMC communications and the March dot plot's median projection of limited easing support this positioning, while the 14.7% chance of 4.0% captures the tail risk of further upside surprises in upcoming releases.

This market will resolve according to the upper bound of the Federal Reserve’s target federal funds range after the December 2026 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, currently scheduled for December 8-9, 2026.
This market may resolve immediately after the statement for the FOMC’s December meeting, with relevant information about the FOMC’s decision on the target federal funds range, has been issued. If no FOMC decision on the target federal funds range for their December meeting has been issued by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve according to the upper bound of the target federal funds range at that time.
The upper bound of the target federal funds range will be rounded to the nearest 25 basis points for resolution of this market. If the upper bound of the target federal funds range falls exactly between two listed options, it will be rounded away from zero (e.g. if the upper bound is 2.875, with listed options of 3.0 & 2.75, this market will resolve to 3.0).
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Federal Reserve (https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm).
