The FED interest rates are 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 to the amount of basis points the upper bound of the target federal funds rate is changed by versus the level it was prior to the Federal Reserve's April 2026 meeting. If the target federal funds rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded up to the nearest 25 and will resolve to the relevant bracket. (e.g. if there's a cut/increase of 12.5 bps it will be considered to be 25 bps) The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meeting scheduled for April 28-29, 2026 according to the official calendar: 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 at https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm. This market may resolve as soon as the FOMC’s statement for their April meeting with relevant data is issued. If no statement is released by the end date of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No change" bracket.Polymarket traders price a 98.2% implied probability of no change in the federal funds rate at the April 28-29, 2026 FOMC meeting, reflecting strong consensus after March 2026 CPI surged to 3.3% year-over-year—up from 2.4% in February—driven by a record gasoline spike amid Middle East tensions, alongside a rebound in nonfarm payrolls adding 178,000 jobs. March FOMC minutes, released April 8, revealed officials raising 2026 inflation forecasts while signaling openness to hikes but affirming the current 3.5%-3.75% target range and just one cut projected for the year. This pause aligns with CME FedWatch Tool odds near 98%, underscoring skin-in-the-game trader alignment on sticky inflation and resilient labor data. Realistic challenges include hotter-than-expected April PPI or consumer sentiment data tilting toward hikes, though upcoming retail sales and regional Fed reports are key watches before resolution.
