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 October 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 October 27-28, 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 October 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.Elevated inflation remains the dominant driver of trader positioning ahead of the October FOMC meeting, with the federal funds target range steady at 3.50-3.75 percent and July CPI at 3.4 percent year-over-year. Recent PCE readings near 3.4-4.1 percent, alongside energy price volatility tied to Middle East developments, have kept market-implied odds favoring no change at 67.5 percent while assigning a 27.5 percent probability to a 25 basis point hike. Hawkish June projections and Governor Waller’s September 3 remarks—highlighting gradual disinflation but openness to tightening if August data disappoint—reinforce this consensus. Stable labor conditions and solid GDP growth further limit cut expectations, which sit below 5 percent combined. The September 16 decision and upcoming CPI release will shape any repricing into October.
