The FED rate is defined in this market by the upper bound of the target federal funds range. The decisions on the target federal fund range are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. This market will resolve according to the upper bound of the Federal Reserve’s target federal funds range after the December 2026 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, currently scheduled for December 8-9, 2026. This market may resolve immediately after the statement for the FOMC’s December meeting, with relevant information about the FOMC’s decision on the target federal funds range, has been issued. If no FOMC decision on the target federal funds range for their December meeting has been issued by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve according to the upper bound of the target federal funds range at that time. The upper bound of the target federal funds range will be rounded to the nearest 25 basis points for resolution of this market. If the upper bound of the target federal funds range falls exactly between two listed options, it will be rounded away from zero (e.g. if the upper bound is 2.875, with listed options of 3.0 & 2.75, this market will resolve to 3.0). The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Federal Reserve (https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm).Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 49.4% implied probability for the federal funds rate at 3.75% by end-2026, closely followed by 3.5% at 19%, reflecting caution amid sticky inflation and a resilient economy. March 2026 CPI accelerated to 3.3% year-over-year—up sharply from February's 2.4%—driven by a 10.9% energy surge, prompting the FOMC to hold the target range steady at 3.5%-3.75% for a third meeting on April 29. The March dot plot median points to around 3.4% by year-end, aligning with futures implying minimal 25 basis point easing. Elevated inflation risks from global energy shocks have shifted sentiment higher-for-longer, with June FOMC and upcoming PCE data as key catalysts.
