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 July FOMC data showing a 9-3 hold at the 3.5–3.75% federal funds target range, amid resurgent inflation pressures from energy prices, anchors trader expectations for a pause through the September and October meetings. Elevated PCE readings and geopolitical supply risks have shifted the dot plot higher, with officials now projecting limited easing or modest hikes by year-end versus earlier cut forecasts, while the labor market remains resilient enough to support policy patience. This dynamic elevates the pause-pause-pause sequence to 58% implied probability, as forward-looking indicators like Treasury yields and CME FedWatch pricing reflect a cautious stance ahead of the September 15–16 decision. Any durable cooling in August CPI or nonfarm payrolls could still alter the path.
