Polymarket
Summary
This article describes a Polymarket prediction market contract that will resolve based on the total number of 25 basis point rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in 2026. It covers the resolution criteria, including that emergency hikes outside scheduled FOMC meetings count, and that the market resolves early to "No" if the specified number becomes mathematically impossible. The context notes that sticky inflation and a hawkish June 2026 dot plot are driving closely matched odds on the platform.
