How this market resolves

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 funds 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 September 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 September 15-16, 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 September 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.

AI analysis

The prediction market is asking whether the Fed will increase interest rates by 50+ basis points after its September 2026 meeting. The current price of 0.02 implies a 2% probability that this will occur. Known facts informing the current price include the Fed's recent trend of gradual rate hikes and the ongoing efforts to combat inflation. A change in the market's perception of the economy's growth prospects or the effectiveness of monetary policy could cause the price to move up if the likelihood of a significant rate increase increases, or down if the probability of such an increase decreases.
