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.Recent economic data showing resilient growth and persistent inflation have positioned no change in the federal funds rate as the leading market-implied outcome at the October FOMC meeting, with a 71.5% implied probability. Traders appear focused on the Fed’s data-dependent stance amid above-target inflation readings and a stable labor market, which have tempered expectations for easing and introduced a 23.5% probability of a 25 basis point hike. Forward-looking projections from the central bank’s latest communications contrast with current market-implied odds, underscoring uncertainty ahead of key releases such as the August CPI and employment reports that could shift rate path expectations.
