Description
Fed decisions (Apr–Jul) track the Federal Open Market Committee’s actions on the target federal funds rate across three meetings: April 28–29, June 16–17, and July 28–29. A market resolves to a three-meeting sequence of cuts, pauses, or cuts, depending on whether the upper bound is lower, equal, or higher than the prior level for each meeting; any deviation not matching listed patterns resolves to “Other.” The official FOMC statements and the Fed’s rate history pages govern resolution, with updates published after each meeting.

Rules
The FED interest rates are defined in this market by the upper bound of the target federal funds rate. The decisions on the target federal funds rate are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. This market will resolve according to the decisions made by the next three Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings: April 28-29; June 16-17; and July 28-29. A qualifying cut occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is lower compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting. A qualifying hike occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is higher compared to the level it was prior to the respective meeting. A qualifying pause occurs when the new upper bound of the target federal funds rate is equal to the level it was prior to the respective meeting. If the Fed publishes a different combination than any listed, this market will resolve to "Other". Any rate hike will be encompassed by "Other". Emergency rate cuts outside the regularly scheduled meetings will not be considered.
