Market Context & Data Summary

Event: Will the upper bound of the federal funds rate be above 3.50% following the Fed's Dec 10, 2025 meeting?

Implied P(YES) (mid): 82% | YES/NO spreads: 8¢ / 4¢ | Overround (asks): 8% | Underround (bids): 8%.

Orderbook skew: The orderbook shows a significant bias towards "Yes," with a notable imbalance as the largest bid size for "Yes" at $0.01 being 409,998, compared to 42,737 for "No" at the same price level.

External context: - The Federal Reserve has suggested plans for continued monitoring of inflation trends, with potential for rate adjustments at upcoming meetings (Federal Reserve). - Recent inflation data shows a decrease in the annual rate, creating mixed expectations about future rate hikes (Bureau of Labor Statistics). - Market analysts predict that if macroeconomic indicators continue to improve, a rate above 3.5% is highly plausible (CME Group). - Open interest remains moderate, indicating participant confidence in the outcome (Kalshi Data).


View & Probability

Analyst P(YES): 85%.

Rationale: Given the current economic data, including inflation trends and the Fed's signals towards potential tightening, the likelihood of a 3.5% upper bound appears favorable, supported by market confidence as reflected in the orderbook.
