Analysis

This market estimates the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates unchanged through the end of 2026, currently priced at 37%. With less than six months remaining in the year, the probability reflects expectations about the Fed's reaction to inflation data, employment conditions, and economic growth. The market is pricing in a roughly two-thirds chance of at least one rate change before year-end. The primary drivers are upcoming inflation reports (CPI/PCE) scheduled through November and the Fed's remaining policy meetings in July, September, November, and December. Strong inflation readings would increase pressure for rate hikes; weaker data or economic slowdown signals could support holding steady. The July Federal Open Market Committee meeting, occurring in early weeks, will be a critical catalyst for establishing the Fed's near-term trajectory.

  • Inflation data releases (CPI/PCE) between now and December will directly influence Fed decision-making at remaining four scheduled meetings
  • Current market pricing implies 63% probability of at least one rate change, suggesting most traders expect the Fed to move before year-end
  • Employment indicators and labor market strength over the next five months will be weighed alongside price pressures in Fed deliberations
  • The 37% probability for exactly zero changes is the leading outcome but faces stiff competition from one-change scenarios (31%) and two-change scenarios (20%)
  • Fed communication and forward guidance at July meeting will provide clarity on policymakers' inflation assessment and trigger immediate repricing

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
