Recent inflation readings and hawkish signals from Fed officials have anchored trader expectations for a rate hike as the next policy move, with markets pricing a 58.5% implied probability. Persistent pressures from supply shocks, elevated energy prices tied to geopolitical tensions, and PCE inflation well above the 2% target have shifted the reaction function, as reflected in the June dot plot showing more participants favoring higher rates by year-end. July FOMC minutes revealed growing support for tightening, with several officials backing a 25-basis-point increase and three dissents at the prior meeting. Labor market resilience has further supported the hawkish tilt. The September 16 FOMC decision remains the key near-term catalyst, though incoming CPI and employment data could still alter the path.

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 to “Hike” if the first FOMC decision to change the upper bound of the target federal funds rate between market creation and December 31, 2028, 11:59 PM ET is one that increases the specified rate compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting.
This market will resolve to “Cut” if the first FOMC decision to change the upper bound of the target federal funds rate between market creation and December 31, 2028, 11:59 PM ET is one that decreases the specified rate compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting.
If the FOMC announces no decision changing the specified rate between market creation and December 31, 2028, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “50-50”.
Any decision changing the specified rate within the specified timeframe, including emergency and non-scheduled decisions, will qualify.
The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meetings:
