The FED interest rates are defined in this market by the upper bound of the target federal funds rate. The decisions on the target federal funds rate are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. This market will resolve according to the decisions made by the next three Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings: July 28-29; September 15-16; and October 27-28. A qualifying cut occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is lower compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting. A qualifying hike occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is higher compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting. A qualifying pause occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is equal to the level it was prior to the respective meeting. If the Fed publishes a different combination than any listed, this market will resolve to "Other". Any rate hike will be encompassed by "Other". Emergency rate cuts outside the regularly scheduled meetings will not be considered. The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meetings: 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: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm**Persistent inflation above the Fed’s 2% target, alongside a resilient labor market, continues to anchor trader expectations for a pause-pause-pause sequence across the July, September, and October 2026 FOMC meetings.** The July 29 decision held the federal funds rate at 3.50–3.75% on a 9-3 vote, with three members dissenting in favor of a 25-basis-point hike amid elevated CPI readings near 3.5% year-over-year and supply-driven price pressures. Solid job gains and an unemployment rate around 4.1–4.2% have kept maximum-employment concerns secondary, while forward-looking fed funds futures and related contracts price limited near-term easing. The sizable “Other” share reflects residual uncertainty over potential September or later hikes if inflation reaccelerates, though soft core trends and upcoming data releases could still shift the implied path.
