This market asks a very specific version of the broader Fed-watch question: will the Federal Reserve deliver five separate 25-basis-point rate cuts during 2026? Because the answer depends on official FOMC actions across the full calendar year, it is sensitive to economic data, inflation trends, and how the Fed responds at each scheduled meeting—or in an emergency move. The market is currently trading as a very unlikely outcome, but the full year still leaves room for policy changes to accumulate.
The event is about the total number of quarter-point rate cuts the Federal Reserve makes in 2026, including any emergency cuts outside scheduled FOMC meetings and including cuts made at the December meeting. The rules also treat any cut between 1 and 24 basis points as one cut, and a 50-basis-point cut counts as two cuts. Resolution will be based on the Fed’s official FOMC statements and the published target federal funds rate on the Federal Reserve’s website, with the market left open until December 31, 2026, to capture late-year or emergency actions.
Fed rate decisions are one of the most closely watched macro policy variables because they shape borrowing costs, credit conditions, and broader financial expectations. What traders are pricing here is not just whether the Fed cuts at all, but whether the 2026 policy path becomes substantially easier than the market expects today. The uncertainty comes from the fact that each meeting can be driven by new inflation, jobs, growth, or financial-stability data, so the total number of cuts is still a moving target.
The biggest price moves will come from changes in the Fed’s rate path after FOMC meetings, especially if the committee signals a faster or slower easing cycle than investors expect. A larger-than-usual cut, back-to-back cuts, or an emergency intermeeting action would quickly change the count under these rules, while a pause-heavy year would make five cuts harder to reach. Because the market can resolve early to No once five cuts become impossible to achieve, every policy decision that adds to the running total matters.

View marketThe current market price implies roughly a 1% chance for the leading outcome, based on live Polymarket pricing. That number is not a prediction from PredictionNinja and it is not a guarantee; it is the current crowd-priced view of the market and can change quickly when new information appears.
Readers should watch the official FOMC calendar and each post-meeting statement, since those are the source of truth for whether a cut occurred and how large it was. The key detail is the exact change in the target federal funds rate, not commentary alone, and the market’s definition counts even small cuts of 1–24 basis points as one cut. The main ambiguity to verify is whether any emergency action happened outside a scheduled meeting and whether the total number of 25-basis-point equivalents reaches five before the December 31, 2026 deadline.

This market is currently listed with an end date of Dec 31, 2026. Market timelines can change if the underlying event is postponed, rescheduled, or resolved early.
This market will resolve according to the exact amount of cuts of 25 basis points in 2026 by the Fed (including any cuts made during the December meeting). Emergency rate cuts outside of scheduled FOMC meetings will also count toward the total number of cuts in 2026. This market will remain open until December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, to account for any such emergency actions. For example, if the Fed cuts rates by 50 bps after a meeting, it would be considered 2 cuts (of 25 bps each). This market will resolve early to "No" if the specified number of cuts becomes impossible — i.e., if more cuts have already occurred than the strike in question. Note that cuts between 1–24 bps (inclusive) will also be considered 1 rate cut. The resolution source for this market will be FOMC statements after meetings scheduled in 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.
