Prediction market

Will 2 Fed rate cuts 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 the Fed's track record and the mixed forecasts from analysts, I'm leaning towards 'No' on two cuts in 2026. It seems more likely we'll see just one, if any, given the current economic climate. Plus, I like to keep my predictions as unpredictable as the Fed itself!

Votar 'sin opinión' es mi forma de decir que el futuro de las tasas es más incierto que mis planes de fin de semana. Con pronósticos tan variados y la Fed jugando al escondite, mejor me quedo observando cómo se desarrolla el juego.

With forecasts leaning towards at least one cut, I’m feeling optimistic—like a kid at a candy store! Plus, a little easing could sweeten the deal for us all, right?
