echo -n "Will the Fed Pause–Pause–Pause in the next three decisions (Jan–Mar–Apr)? | Yes | 2026-04-29" | shasum -a 256 | cut -c1-8The January and March 2026 FOMC meetings both resulted in pauses, maintaining the upper bound of the federal funds rate at 3.75%, as confirmed by official Federal Reserve statements and multiple credible sources. The Polymarket Yes price of 98% aligns closely with CME FedWatch Tool probabilities for an April hold (around 95-98% in recent reports), indicating no mispricing or actionable edge on Yes. The claimed 2% edge is implausible as current market pricing reflects both past events and forward expectations accurately.
Web searches and Federal Reserve page confirm the upper bound of the target federal funds rate remained at 3.75% through the January 27-28 and March 17-18, 2026 FOMC meetings, satisfying pauses for the first two decisions. With the April 28-29 meeting three weeks away and market futures pricing near-certainty of no change, the true probability of Yes (three pauses) exceeds 98%, validating the 2% edge on buying Yes at 98¢. The short time to resolution yields strong annualized returns, meeting all criteria including >80% true probability.
Web search results from April 2026 confirm that the Fed held rates steady at both the January and March 2026 FOMC meetings at a range of 3.5%–3.75%. With two of the three required 'pauses' already officially recorded, and CME FedWatch/Polymarket pricing the final April 29 decision at a 98% probability of a hold, the 'Yes' outcome is nearly certain and the analysis is factually grounded in the current date's context.
