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: April 28-29; June 16-17; and July 28-29. 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 economic releases, including the May 2026 CPI and labor market reports, have reinforced expectations for steady monetary policy, driving the 93% implied probability on three consecutive federal funds rate pauses through July. Traders interpret the Federal Reserve’s post-April communications as signaling patience amid inflation near target and a resilient jobs market, consistent with the current 4.25–4.50% policy range. With the June FOMC meeting imminent, futures and Treasury yields embed limited volatility around a hold. Only material downside surprises in upcoming inflation prints or employment data could realistically shift odds toward a July cut.
