Make a prediction2 votes

About

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.

Resolution

Criteria

Resolves YES based on the official Polymarket resolution for: "Will the Fed increase interest rates by 50+ bps after the September 2026 meeting?"

Context

The Federal Reserve's decision to increase interest rates is influenced by inflation rates, economic growth, and labor market conditions. Historically, the Fed has tended to raise rates in response to high inflation and strong economic growth, with key factors including the consumer price index and the unemployment rate. The September 2026 meeting will be closely watched for signs of a rate hike, particularly if inflation remains above target or the labor market continues to tighten.
