Analysis
This market is pricing an extremely unlikely scenario at just 14¢, implying the Federal Reserve will make exactly three rate changes over the next 259 days—a narrow outcome given current economic uncertainty and the typical frequency of policy adjustments. The 942% implied yield on Yes reflects the asymmetric payoff, but the zero 24-hour volume and modest $475 open interest suggest minimal liquidity and conviction behind either side, making this a speculative position rather than a liquid betting market. The tight 1¢ spread and moderate cliff risk (7/10) indicate some structural stability, though traders should be cautious given the illiquidity and the binary nature of hitting exactly three changes rather than two, four, or more.
Resolution rules
If the number of rate changes before 2027 is exactly 3, then the market resolves to Yes.
