Analysis
The market is pricing in only a 22% probability of a Fed rate cut by July 2026, down sharply from 27¢ a week ago, suggesting recent economic data has shifted sentiment toward sustained higher rates. The extreme implied yield of 2123% on the "Yes" side reflects the deep out-of-the-money positioning, though the modest $161k daily volume and $25.5M open interest indicate relatively thin liquidity for such a binary outcome 61 days from expiry. The 4/10 Cliff Risk Index and tight 2¢ spread suggest this is a stable market without imminent resolution pressure, though the sharp 5-cent weekly decline warrants monitoring for further directional conviction.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the upper bound of the target federal funds rate is decreased at any point between December 16, 2025 and the completion of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting for July 2026, currently scheduled for July 28-29. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. If no July meeting takes place by August 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, and no qualifying rate cut has been announced, this market will resolve to "No". Emergency rate cuts will qualify. 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.
