Questions

When is the July 2027 FOMC meeting?

The Federal Open Market Committee meets July 27–28, 2027. The rate decision and statement come at 2:00 PM ET on Wednesday, July 28, 2027, followed by the Chair's press conference at 2:30 PM ET.

What are the odds of a rate cut at the July 2027 Fed meeting?

As of November 10, 2026, Fed Funds futures (/ZQ) price an 85% chance of no change and a 15% chance of a 25 bp cut at the July 2027 meeting, an expected change of −4 bp. The target range is currently 3.75–4.00%.

How have the odds for the July 2027 FOMC meeting changed?

The odds of no change are 85% as of November 10, 2026; a week earlier (Nov 3, 2026) they were 95%; a month earlier (Oct 9, 2026) they were 96%. The daily record for this meeting starts July 29, 2026.

How are these probabilities calculated?

Each 30-day Fed Funds futures contract (/ZQ) settles at 100 minus the average effective federal funds rate (EFFR) over its month. The contract for the meeting month, or for the next month without a meeting, gives the rate the market expects after the decision. The gap from the rate going in, measured against 25 bp steps, is split into probabilities for each outcome.
