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.htmRecent June CPI data showing a 0.4% monthly decline and 3.5% annual rate—below forecasts—has reinforced expectations for steady policy after the Fed's July hold at 3.5–3.75%. Softer July jobs figures have further tempered hike probabilities, yet prior energy-driven inflation pressures and a resilient economy keep "other" sequences competitive with all-pause outcomes. Market-implied odds reflect uncertainty ahead of the August 12 CPI release, September FOMC meeting, and potential Jackson Hole signals, with traders weighing labor-market cooling against risks of reaccelerating prices. This balance leaves pause paths and alternatives nearly even as fresh data arrives.
