**As of mid-September 2026, the federal funds target range stands at 3.50–3.75%, with the effective rate near 3.63%.** Recent August CPI data showing 3.4% headline and 2.4% core inflation, alongside resilient labor market reports, have shifted trader expectations toward tighter policy. Futures markets now price in a high probability of a 25-basis-point hike at the September 16 FOMC meeting—the first since 2023—potentially lifting the range to 3.75–4.00%. The June 2026 SEP already revised the median end-2026 rate projection upward to 3.8%, reflecting concerns over persistent price pressures and economic momentum under Chair Warsh. With multiple meetings remaining through year-end, prediction market activity highlights elevated odds that the target range could reach 4.25% or higher before 2027 if inflation fails to moderate, though any downside surprises in upcoming data could moderate the path.
