Market rules, made readable
Official descriptionHow this market is decided
The FED rate is defined in this market by the upper bound of the target federal funds range. The decisions on the target federal fund range are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. This market will resolve according to the upper bound of the Federal Reserve’s target federal funds range after the December 2026 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, currently scheduled for December 8-9, 2026.
This market may resolve immediately after the statement for the FOMC’s December meeting, with relevant information about the FOMC’s decision on the target federal funds range, has been issued. If no FOMC decision on the target federal funds range for their December meeting has been issued by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve according to the upper bound of the target federal funds range at that time.
Read the complete resolution rules
The upper bound of the target federal funds range will be rounded to the nearest 25 basis points for resolution of this market. If the upper bound of the target federal funds range falls exactly between two listed options, it will be rounded away from zero (e.g. if the upper bound is 2.875, with listed options of 3.0 & 2.75, this market will resolve to 3.0).
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Federal Reserve (.

Significant updates
The 4.0% upper-bound outcome for the end-2026 federal funds rate moved up 3.45 percentage points, from 21.75% to 25.2%, during the supplied 24-hour window. The only matched source is the Federal Reserve's June 24 announcement that annual bank stress tests showed large banks were positioned to withstand a severe recession and continue lending. That release is relevant macro and Fed-context news, but it does not directly address the 2026 policy-rate path. The timing may have overlapped with the market move, but the supplied context does not confirm it caused the odds change.
What changed
The Yes price for the 4.0% end-2026 Fed-rate outcome rose from 0.2175 to 0.252, a 0.0345 move, over the supplied 24-hour period.
What to watch next
Watch for Fed communications, inflation and labor-market data, and updated rate-path expectations that more directly bear on where the target range ends 2026.
