What are the odds of a rate hike at the September 2027 Fed meeting?

As of November 10, 2026, Fed Funds futures (/ZQ) price a 92% chance of no change and an 8% chance of a 25 bp hike at the September 2027 meeting, an expected change of +2 bp. The target range is currently 3.75–4.00%.

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

The odds of no change are 92% as of November 10, 2026; a week earlier (Nov 3, 2026) they were 88%; a month earlier (Oct 9, 2026) they were 80%. The daily record for this meeting starts September 16, 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.
