Fed hiked in Sept, held in Oct; a hot October CPI pushed December to ~84-90% for +25 with talk of 'further gradual tightening'. Kalshi prices Jan 27 2027 at ~52% +25bp / 47% hold, and March 59% hike, consistent with an every-other-meeting pace (Sep, Dec, Mar) that makes a back-to-back January hike less likely. I shade slightly below the market.

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 January 2027 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 January 26-27, 2027 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 January 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.

Persistent inflation makes additional tightening likely: October CPI rose 0.4% headline and 0.3% core month-over-month. Deutsche Bank now expects an additional January quarter-point hike, while Goldman expects the next hike after December in March. I give January +25 a narrow edge, allowing substantial probability of a pause after December or a larger December move. This forecasts January's meeting-specific change, not cumulative tightening.
