Analysis

This probability reflects the likelihood that at least one Federal Reserve official will dissent from the committee's policy decision at the April 2026 FOMC meeting. The 22% probability suggests markets assess dissent as unlikely but plausible. Dissent typically occurs when economic conditions or inflation trajectories diverge significantly from the Fed's consensus view. The key drivers are recent inflation readings and economic data—higher-than-expected inflation or growth could prompt a hawkish dissent favoring tighter policy, while weakness could trigger dovish dissent. The April 2026 FOMC meeting itself will resolve this directly when the committee votes and announces results, typically followed by detailed voting records showing any dissenters. Historical context shows dissent occurs sporadically, roughly 10-15% of the time in normal periods but more frequently during economic stress or policy divergence.

  • April 2026 inflation data released before the FOMC meeting will determine whether officials perceive price pressures warranting policy disagreement
  • The Fed's current policy rate trajectory heading into April 2026 constrains how much room exists for genuine disagreement among governors and regional presidents
  • Recent FOMC dissents have been relatively rare in 2025-2026, suggesting consensus is currently stronger than historical averages
  • The composition of voting members in April 2026 versus prior meetings affects likelihood, as different regional Fed presidents hold rotating voting seats with varying policy preferences
  • Economic growth and employment data in March 2026 will provide the most recent conditions committee members evaluate before their April decision

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.
