توقع: Fed Decision in September?

Platform comparison

Market context

The Federal Reserve’s September 2026 meeting is the event in focus, with the market currently implying only a **2%** chance of a move in the named direction. That sits well below recent derivatives pricing: on 23 July, CME FedWatch was pricing roughly an **82%** chance of a September hike, while Kalshi’s odds for a quarter-point increase were around **48%**, after having been lower a week earlier[4]. Reuters also reported on 25 June that traders were already seeing September as a likely hike meeting, with roughly an **80%** expectation at that stage[1].

For context, the Fed has kept the federal funds target range at **3.50% to 3.75%** and the June minutes showed a split FOMC, with a small number of officials preferring higher rates and nine of the seventeen participants projecting at least one hike in 2026[7]. That makes the current market an unusually sharp disagreement with the futures complex rather than a marginal pricing gap. Broker research and market commentary through July also pointed to a renewed hawkish tilt after firm inflation readings and higher oil prices, while several economists still expected no cut before 2027[4][8].

The main catalysts into September are the late-July FOMC meeting, the next CPI and core PCE prints, and any further move in oil, because each can shift the odds between a hold and a 25bp or larger hike[4][5][7]. The market description matters here: if the Fed does not choose one of the listed increments, the result is rounded up to the nearest 25bp bracket, so traders are really watching whether policy stays unchanged or crosses into a hike at all.

FAQ

Are prediction markets better than sports betting?

Prediction markets tend toward tighter odds than bookmakers because they use peer-to-peer exchange rather than bookmaker margin. On major matches, Polymarket quotes typically sit 2-5% closer to the true probability model than bet365 or DraftKings.

How fast do sports winnings settle?

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.
