Trader consensus on Polymarket overwhelmingly prices a 99.4% implied probability of no Federal Reserve rate change at the April 28-29, 2026 FOMC meeting, aligning closely with CME FedWatch Tool readings near 99%, reflecting the federal funds rate's steady 3.5%-3.75% target range amid resilient economic conditions. March CPI accelerated to 3.3% year-over-year—up from February's 2.4% due to a 12.5% energy index surge from geopolitical oil shocks—while core inflation cooled modestly to 2.6%, insufficient to prompt easing per the March FOMC statement and minutes, which raised 2026 inflation forecasts and noted some openness to hikes. Labor markets remain firm with unemployment near 4.4%. A pre-meeting downside shock, such as softer-than-expected jobs data, could challenge this positioning, though the market's skin-in-the-game bets suggest scant room for surprises ahead of resolution.

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 April 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 April 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 April 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.
