توقع: Fed Decision in September?

Platform comparison

Market context

The market bets on a rate increase at the Federal Reserve’s September 2026 FOMC meeting, specifically measuring the basis point change in the upper bound of the target federal funds range versus the prior level. Current crowd-implied probability for any increase sits at just 2%, suggesting traders overwhelmingly expect rates to remain unchanged at 3.50–3.75%.

Historical context reveals a sharp divergence between this market’s pricing and broader futures data. CME FedWatch tools in mid-2026 have consistently priced September hike probabilities between 45% and 70%, with some readings nearing 70% amid renewed Middle East tensions and inflation peaking at 4.2% annually [1][2][6]. Only one source, RateProbability, aligns closely with the 2% figure, citing a 12% hike odds estimate, yet most institutional forecasts and futures markets treat a hike as plausible or likely, not negligible [8]. This suggests the 2% crowd probability may reflect a niche view rather than consensus.

Traders should monitor the June and July inflation reports, the FOMC minutes released after the June meeting, and any shifts in oil prices linked to Iran conflict developments, all of which directly influence hawkish sentiment [6]. The CME FedWatch tool updates daily and remains the primary gauge for real-time probability shifts; a sustained rise above 50% would signal a major repricing event [7]. Additionally, the Fed’s dot plot projections and statements from key officials like Kashkari, who has shifted from dovish to hawkish, will be critical catalysts [7].

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.

When do sports markets resolve?

Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.

What are live sports odds on Polymarket?

Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.

How fast do sports winnings settle?

Once the official league outcome is logged in the UMA Oracle (typically 1-2 hours after the final whistle), Polymarket's smart contract triggers USDC payout. To your wallet within minutes.

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.
