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.htmTrader consensus on Polymarket prices a 71% implied probability for the Federal Reserve maintaining steady federal funds rates at the April 28-29, June 16-17, and July 28-29 FOMC meetings, reflecting caution amid resurgent inflation pressures. The March 2026 CPI surged 0.9% monthly and 3.3% annually—up sharply from February's 2.4%—fueled by a 10.9% energy price spike linked to geopolitical tensions including the Iran conflict, tempering rate cut expectations. Supporting this, March nonfarm payrolls added 178,000 jobs with unemployment steady at 4.3%, signaling labor market resilience. The Fed's March 17-18 decision to hold the 3.5%-3.75% target range, alongside projections for just one 2026 cut, reinforces the pause-pause-pause positioning, with the upcoming April meeting as the next key catalyst.
