The October Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is scheduled for October 27 to 28, 2026. The policy decision will be announced at 2:00 PM Eastern Time on October 28, followed by the Fed Chair’s press conference at around 2:30 PM ET. This market will resolve according to the number of dissenting votes recorded at the October Federal Open Market Committee monetary policy meeting, specifically those dissenting on the Fed Funds Rate decision. The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meeting scheduled for October 27 to 28, 2026, according to the official calendar: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm. This market may resolve as soon as the FOMC’s statement for their October meeting with relevant data is issued; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Recent inflation data, including August CPI at 3.4% year-over-year with firmer core readings, combined with elevated energy prices from Middle East supply shocks, have sustained a divided FOMC stance and supported market-implied odds clustered between one and three dissents at the October 27–28 meeting. Trader consensus reflects uncertainty over whether incoming September CPI, payrolls, and the September FOMC outcome will produce enough disinflation or labor-market softening to unify the committee around a hold, or instead reinforce hawkish calls for further tightening as seen in the July 9-3 vote. Labor-market stability near 4.2% unemployment and anchored but above-target inflation expectations remain key swing factors, with the close distribution of probabilities underscoring how modest data shifts could alter dissent counts before resolution.
