Fed rate-hike odds for next week rise to 62.2%

  • Market pricing for a Federal Reserve rate hike next week rose to 62.2%, while earlier Kalshi data showed 57% odds for a September 2026 increase.
  • A 25-basis-point hike, equal to a quarter of a percentage point, would raise the federal funds target range from 3.50%–3.75% to 3.75%–4.00%.
  • The probabilities are not an official Fed decision; economic data, the FOMC meeting and officials’ remarks could shift the outlook.

Market pricing for a Federal Reserve rate hike next week has risen to 62.2%, making an increase more likely than a hold in current expectations. Earlier Kalshi data put the probability of a hike at 57% for the September 2026 policy meeting, versus 43% for keeping the target range at 3.50%–3.75%. A 25-basis-point move would lift the range to 3.75%–4.00%. The figures come from prediction-market activity and rate-futures tools rather than an official Federal Reserve decision, and inflation, employment data, Federal Open Market Committee deliberations and comments from Chairman Kevin Warsh could alter expectations.
