Will the Fed increase interest rates by 25 bps after the July 2026 meeting — 6% YES
This market currently prices a 25 basis point Fed rate hike after the July 2026 meeting as a deep longshot, with implied odds of roughly 16.5-to-1 against, indicating strong collective skepticism. The price has remained essentially flat over the last 24 hours, suggesting no significant shift in conviction despite solid overall participation of nearly $4 million traded. With about seven weeks until resolution, there's still ample time for the price to react to new information, but the current low probability reflects a strong consensus that a hike is very unlikely. For a 'Yes' resolution, the upper bound of the federal funds target range must increase by exactly 25 basis points following the July 2026 FOMC meeting.

The FED interest rates are defined in this market by the upper bound of the target federal funds range. The decisions on the target federal funds range are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. 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 July 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 July 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 July 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.
