Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 73% implied probability for Federal Reserve pauses at the April 28-29, June 16-17, and July 28-29 FOMC meetings, reflecting sticky inflation pressures and resilient labor markets. The March 2026 CPI surged to 3.3% year-over-year—up sharply from February's 2.4%—fueled by a 10.9% energy spike from Iran war-related oil shocks, as reported April 10. Robust nonfarm payrolls added 178,000 jobs, dropping unemployment to 4.3%, while March FOMC minutes released April 8 indicated some officials' openness to rate hikes amid elevated inflation outlooks. The fed funds target remains at 3.50%-3.75%, with the upcoming April meeting as the key near-term catalyst potentially affirming the pause trajectory.
