Federal Reserve cut rates before 2027 — Cuts priced at 3.0% on Kalshi, down 2.1 points, on $1.6M traded

A Kalshi contract on whether the Federal Reserve will cut rates before 2027 stood at a market-implied probability of 3.0%, down 2.1 percentage points over 24 hours, according to PredictionBubbles. The contract had recorded $1.6M in traded volume.

The rate-cut contract was the largest mover on PredictionBubbles’ “other” markets board in the snapshot crawled Oct. 29 at 11:11 UTC. The accompanying report was published Oct. 29, 2026, at 7:24 AM ET.

A sharp move on a mixed board

The board covered 23 open markets with $48.8M traded. Its largest-mover ranking measures absolute probability changes over the preceding 24 hours, rather than trading volume—a distinction that puts the Fed contract’s decline in context.

The most heavily traded contract on the board concerned whether tech layoffs in 2026 would exceed those in 2025. According to PredictionBubbles, that Kalshi market had $31.5M in traded volume, well above the rate-cut contract’s $1.6M.

PredictionBubbles displays venue-published prices rather than accepting wagers, and cautions that related questions across platforms can differ in wording and settlement rules.

What it means for prediction markets

• A low implied chance: The 3.0% price indicated that the market assigned a small probability to a qualifying Fed cut before 2027 at the recorded snapshot.
• Movement is not volume: The 2.1-percentage-point decline led this board’s movement ranking; it did not make the contract its most traded market.
• Timing and terms matter: The 15-minute refresh cycle means displayed prices can lag trading. Without the contract’s resolution rules, the precise conditions required for a “yes” outcome remain unspecified in the supplied material.
