Fed Rate Decision in April: FOMC Prediction Odds
Prediction markets price a 99.8% probability the Federal Reserve holds rates at 3.50%–3.75% at the April 28–29 FOMC meeting. Polymarket dominates the 24-hour volume at $12.7M of $12.7M total, with Kalshi at $5.3K. The hold was priced in after the Iran war sent March energy prices up 10.9% in a single month — the largest jump since 2005 — pushing headline CPI to 3.3%. Fed officials project one cut in 2026, though JPMorgan now forecasts zero cuts this year and a hike in Q3 2027. DeFi Rate aggregates live FOMC trading odds from Kalshi and Polymarket, updated hourly using volume-weighted average pricing (VWAP).
