Polymarket traders price an 78% implied probability of no Federal Reserve rate change at the July 28-29, 2026 FOMC meeting, driven by yesterday's hotter-than-expected March 2026 CPI print showing 3.3% year-over-year headline inflation—up sharply from February's 2.4% amid a 10.9% energy surge tied to geopolitical oil shocks. Resilient labor data, with March nonfarm payrolls adding 178,000 jobs and unemployment at 4.3%, further bolsters the no-change consensus, aligning with March FOMC minutes signaling openness to hikes if inflation persists while projecting just one 25 basis point cut later in 2026. A modest 14.5% odds for a 25 bps decrease reflects lingering disinflation hopes, with hikes under 3% combined. Traders eye this week's April 28-29 FOMC for updated guidance amid elevated Treasury yields.

This market will resolve to the amount of basis points the upper bound of the target federal funds rate is changed by versus the level it was prior to the Federal Reserve's July 2026 meeting.
If the target federal funds rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded up to the nearest 25 and will resolve to the relevant bracket. (e.g. if there's a cut/increase of 12.5 bps it will be considered to be 25 bps)
The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after its meeting scheduled for July 28-29, 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.
This market may resolve as soon as the FOMC’s statement for their July meeting with relevant data is issued. If no statement is released by the end date of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No change" bracket.
