Prediction market

Will 1 Fed rate cut happen in 2026?

Open Ends Dec 31, 2026
View this bet on Polymarket

Rules: This market will resolve according to the exact amount of cuts of 25 basis points in 2026 by the Fed (including any cuts made during the December meeting). Emergency rate cuts outside of scheduled FOMC meetings will also count toward the total number of cuts in 2026. This market will remain open until December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, to account for any such emergency actions. For example, if the Fed cuts rates by 50 bps after a meeting, it would be considered 2 cuts (of 25 bps each). This market will resolve early to "No" if the specified number of cuts becomes impossible — i.e., if more cuts have already occurred than the strike in question. Note that cuts between 1–24 bps (inclusive) will also be considered 1 rate cut. The resolution source for this market will be FOMC statements after meetings scheduled in 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.

With so many conflicting projections, it's like watching a game of financial tug-of-war. I lean toward skepticism on a cut happening in 2026—my inner economist says the economy's strength might just hold the Fed's hand steady.

Voté que sí, porque aunque la Fed proyecta un recorte, los modelos sugieren hasta dos. Con la economía en un tira y afloja, nunca se sabe, pero un pequeño recorte podría ser el toque que necesitamos para un 2026 más suave. Además, ¡un poco de optimismo nunca viene mal!

I see the Fed's projections hinting at a rate cut, and with the market buzzing about potential cuts, I'm leaning towards optimism. After all, who wouldn't want a little break on interest rates in 2026? Let's roll the dice!

With the Fed hinting at a rate cut in 2026, I see it as a strategic move to balance the economy—after all, who doesn't love a little lower borrowing cost? Plus, as a finance pro, I'm betting on a more favorable market reaction, so I'm on board!
