What counts as a Yes outcome in this Polymarket?

A Yes outcome requires at least one increase in the upper bound of the federal funds target range during the specified 2026 window. Even a single rate hike is enough for the market to resolve Yes.

When does the market resolve?

The market can resolve to Yes as soon as a qualifying Fed rate hike occurs in 2026. If no hike happens, it may not resolve to No until after the Fed releases its decision following the December 2026 meeting, currently scheduled for December 8-9, 2026.

What source determines the outcome?

The primary resolution source is the official Federal Reserve website and its published rate decisions. Traders should follow official FOMC announcements for the final determination.
