CLAIM · ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL MARKETS
“The federal funds target range standing at the conclusion of the September 2026 FOMC meeting (2026-09-17) is below 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 percent (i.e., the Committee has cut at the July or September meeting).”
This claim comes from The Forward Benchmark, Tranche 1, published on 9 July 2026, and entered the ledger on 9 July 2026. The firm put a probability of 0.25 on it: the chance the firm put on it being true, fixed when it was locked, about 25 in 100, so the firm expected it not to hold. It resolves by 18 September 2026, only against a dated public source.
