St. Louis Federal Reserve President Alberto Musallam called for a gradual approach to raising interest rates, arguing that an early move would be less costly for the economy than resorting to a more aggressive tightening later if inflation remains above the target level. In an interview with the Financial Times, Musallam said that this week's sell-off of US Treasury bonds reflects the Fed's need to bolster its credibility in combating inflation. He noted that he would have preferred a 25-basis-point rate hike at the last meeting, despite the central bank's decision to hold rates steady. He added that raising rates gradually now could spare the economy from more drastic measures in the future if inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target. His comments came after a meeting where three members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) dissented, demanding an immediate rate hike due to concerns about continued inflationary pressures. Following the meeting, the yield on the 30-year US Treasury note rose to over 5.2%, its highest level in years. For 19 years, markets have raised the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 25 basis points at its September meeting to around 67%. #Arabic_Business
FED DECISION: JPM'S MARKET PLAYBOOK • • JPMorgan expects the Fed to hold rates, despite markets pricing a sizable chance of a surprise hike. • • Its base case is a hawkish hold (50%), leaving the S&P 500 roughly flat to down 0.5%. • • A dovish hold could lift stocks up to 1%, while a 25bp hike could send the S&P 500 down 1.5%-2%, with tech stocks likely hit hardest.
Core PCE could reach 3.5% in May, nearly 70 basis points higher than a year ago. Tariffs and one-offs are part of the pickup. The Fed is losing patience after the latest round of supply shocks. The next three to six months will show whether price pressures stay contained to energy or broaden out.
FED PIVOT FLAGS HIGHER BOND VOLATILITY • • Julius Baer’s Dario Messi says the Fed’s shift toward data dependence and a tighter 2% inflation focus will increase bond-market volatility, especially in short-dated Treasurys. Markets are pricing about 38bps of hikes by year-end, with rising sensitivity to economic data rather than Fed meetings. Longer-dated yields remain more anchored by growth expectations, with limited upside risk and potential downside toward 4.30–4.40% on the 10-year.
UPCOMING U.S. ECONOMIC DATA COULD SPARK VOLATILITY IN U.S. TREASURYS, JULIUS BAER SAYS • • U.S. 10-YEAR TREASURY YIELDS COULD FALL SLIGHTLY IN SECOND HALF OF 2026 TOWARDS 4.30%, JULIUS BAER SAYS • • U.S. JOBS MARKET MIGHT NOT BE AS STRONG AS RECENT DATA SUGGEST: JULIUS BAER • • JULIUS BAER FORECASTS FED TO KEEP RATES ON HOLD IN 2026, ECB TO RAISE RATES ONCE MORE -- INTERVIEW
BofA SEES THREE FED HIKES, FLIPS OUTLOOK • • Bank of America now expects three Federal Reserve rate hikes this year, reversing its prior no-change forecast on strong data and a hawkish Fed under Chair Warsh. Kalshi markets price a 25% chance of a July hike, 76% hold, and 2% cut, signaling continued uncertainty over the Fed path. •

What would make this resolve YES?
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 September 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 September 15-16, 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 September 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.
