This market will resolve to “Yes” if the upper bound of the target federal funds rate is increased at any point between September 17, 2026 and the completion of the Fed's December 2026 meeting, currently scheduled for December 8 to 9, 2026, inclusive of any rate hike announced as a result of the December meeting. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Any change to the target federal funds rate announced at the conclusion of the September 15 to 16, 2026 FOMC meeting will not count toward this market. Emergency rate hikes announced on or after September 17, 2026 will qualify. This market may not resolve to "No" until the Fed has released its rate change decision following its December meeting. The primary resolution source for this market will be the official website of the Federal Reserve (https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Recent FOMC projections released after the September 16 rate hike to the 3.75–4.00 percent target range show 16 of 18 participants expecting at least one additional 25-basis-point increase by year-end, lifting the median federal funds rate projection to 4.1 percent. Persistent inflation, with August CPI at 3.4 percent year-over-year and core PCE near 3.4 percent, combined with a resilient labor market featuring 4.1 percent unemployment and solid payroll gains, supports the hawkish tilt under Chair Warsh. Markets now price roughly one more move this year, with the October meeting and upcoming inflation releases as key near-term catalysts that could reinforce or temper that path.
