Recent August 2026 CPI data showing headline inflation steady at 3.4% year-over-year alongside a 0.4% monthly increase, driven partly by higher energy prices, has reinforced trader expectations for tighter policy. A resilient labor market, evidenced by solid job gains and low unemployment near 4.1%, has further supported the case for rate hikes amid hawkish signals from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and revised forecasts from banks like UBS projecting 25-basis-point increases at both the September and December FOMC meetings. With the current target range at 3.50-3.75%, market-implied odds for a December hike reflect aggregated sentiment that persistent price pressures and economic strength outweigh cooling risks, though incoming data releases before year-end could still shift the path.

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 December 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 December 8-9, 2026 according to the official calendar: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm.
