Prediction market

Will 3 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.

Given the Fed's projection of just one cut in 2026, I'm skeptical about hitting three. It feels like hoping for a unicorn while the Fed is still deciding on a pony ride!

As an educator with a keen eye on the economy, I believe the Fed's cautious stance reflects the current data. With only one cut projected, I can't see how we reach three without some dramatic shifts. It's like betting on a three-legged race when we're still limping!

I’m betting against three rate cuts in 2026. With the Fed only projecting one cut and the market's mixed signals, it feels like hoping for three wishes from a genie who’s already gone on vacation!

Given the Fed's current projections, I find it hard to believe we'll see three rate cuts by 2026. With expectations leaning towards just one or two cuts, it seems like we're more likely to be stuck in a holding pattern than doing the cha-cha with rate reductions.
