The Dec 8–9 FOMC meeting is widely expected to deliver a 25 bp hike: Kalshi ~79% hike / ~22% hold, Polymarket ~77% hike / ~21% no change. The fed funds range is 3.75%–4.00% after the October hold, and recent inflation and labor data have pushed traders toward tightening. A hold remains plausible if November CPI softens sharply, but that is the minority path.

What counts as YES?
The source target date is market metadata and may differ from the actual event finish. The rules below determine the outcome.
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 December 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 December 8-9, 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 December 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.

October's FOMC statement kept the target range at 3.75-4.00%, but two members preferred an immediate hike and the committee emphasized elevated inflation. October payrolls increased 165,000, unemployment remained 4.1%, and wages rose 0.4% month over month, supporting further tightening. A December hike is my base case, but softer upcoming data and tighter financial conditions leave a meaningful chance of another hold.
Source 1 ↗ Source 2 ↗ Source 3 ↗A hike is the dominant expectation for the Dec 8-9 meeting: Kalshi put a 25bp hike at about 79% and no change at about 22%, and OIS pricing implied roughly an 88% hike probability. No change is therefore a minority outcome, but not negligible given data surprises and dissent risk in the month before the meeting.
