توقع: Fed decisions (Jul–Oct)

Platform comparison

Market context

The Federal Reserve will convene for three consecutive policy meetings between late July and late October 2026, with the market testing whether any of these sessions will produce either a rate cut or a rate hike relative to the current upper bound of the federal funds rate. The FOMC's decisions hinge on incoming inflation data, labour market conditions, and broader economic growth signals. Currently priced at zero probability for a move, the market reflects expectations of a hold across all three meetings—a positioning that assumes economic conditions remain sufficiently stable to warrant no adjustment to monetary policy over this three-month window.

Historical precedent suggests extended holding periods are common when inflation has stabilised near target and employment remains resilient. Between 2018 and 2019, the Fed held rates steady for eleven consecutive meetings after a tightening cycle, and similar pauses occurred in 2017. However, the period from mid-2023 onwards demonstrated how quickly consensus can shift: markets priced near-zero probability of cuts in early 2023, yet the Fed cut four times by year-end as inflation retreated faster than anticipated.

Traders should monitor the Consumer Price Index releases scheduled for August and September, along with the employment report due before each FOMC decision. Any material surprise in either direction—persistent inflation above expectations or unexpected labour market weakness—could rapidly shift the probability away from the current hold consensus. The Fed's own forward guidance and Chair Powell's communications at post-meeting press conferences will signal whether officials view the economic trajectory as requiring adjustment.

Can I bet on individual matches?

Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
