Prediction market

Will 5 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 forecasts leaning towards one or two cuts, it's hard to imagine five. I mean, even my coffee budget has limits, and the Fed's got to be more careful than a tightwad at a buffet!

I'm betting against five rate cuts in 2026; the forecasts are more in line with one or two, and even that's optimistic. As a finance pro, I know the Fed loves to keep us on our toes, but I can't see them going all out with cuts. Let's keep the champagne on ice for now!
