Market Data Evidence

CME FedWatch put the probability of a 25 basis point hike at the September 16 FOMC at 60.6% on September 8, up from 57.5% immediately after the Jackson Hole keynote and 44.4% on August 7. Prediction markets stayed nearer even, with Kalshi at 48% and Polymarket at 49%, so the futures market is more hawkish than the crowd.
