About this event

This event tracks the combination of target federal funds rate decisions made across three consecutive Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings spanning September through December, measuring whether rates are hiked, paused, or cut at each meeting.

How the outcomes relate

The event presents mutually exclusive outcome combinations for the sequence of three FOMC decisions, along with a catch-all option. At most one market can resolve Yes. If the resulting sequence is not listed among the explicit options, or if any rate cut occurs, the catch-all option resolves Yes.

How it resolves

Each market resolves based on the change in the upper bound of the target federal funds rate compared to the prior level across three FOMC meetings (September 15-16, October 27-28, and December 8-9). A higher upper bound is a hike, an equal upper bound is a pause, and a lower upper bound is a cut. A market for a specific three-meeting combination resolves Yes if that exact sequence occurs. Any rate cut or unlisted sequence resolves the catch-all option to Yes. Emergency rate changes outside regularly scheduled meetings are excluded.
