Prediction markets are increasingly betting on a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve at its upcoming December 9–10 meeting. Platforms such as Polymarket and CME's Fedwatch tool indicate a 66% and 71% probability, respectively, for the rate reduction. This sentiment is bolstered by dovish remarks from officials like John Williams, despite internal disagreements and mixed economic signals. The potential rate cut comes amid ongoing uncertainty due to delayed government reports and persistent inflation, with some Federal Reserve officials opposing any easing. The decision is poised to have a significant impact on financial markets, reflecting traders' expectations for modest monetary policy adjustments.
