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: September 15-16; October 27-28; and December 8-9. 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 cut will be encompassed by "Other". Emergency rate changes 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.htmPersistent inflation pressures, with July 2026 CPI at 3.4% year-over-year and core at 2.5%, alongside a resilient labor market near 4.1-4.3% unemployment, underpin the fragmented trader consensus on the Fed's September, October, and December decisions. New Chair Kevin Warsh's hawkish dot-plot shift and removal of forward guidance have elevated hike probabilities in futures pricing, yet recent data dependence and moderating energy effects keep the path contested. The September 11 CPI release and September 15-16 FOMC meeting represent immediate catalysts that could clarify whether the funds rate holds at 3.50-3.75% or moves higher amid these crosscurrents.
