Prediction market

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 current forecasts, betting on eight rate cuts feels like hoping for a unicorn at a horse race. With analysts mostly predicting just one or two cuts, I'm sticking with reality over fantasy on this one.

I can't see eight rate cuts happening in 2026—sounds more like a wishful thinking exercise than a realistic forecast. With the current buzz leaning towards just one or two cuts, it's like hoping for a unicorn in a field of horses.

Given the current economic forecasts, predicting eight rate cuts feels like betting on a unicorn at a horse race. As a finance professional, I see the consensus leaning heavily towards just a couple of cuts, if that. So, I opted for 'No'—let's not get carried away with wishful thinking!
