What economic markets you can trade

The Fed draws the most money. Every meeting gets a market: hold, cut or hike, and by how much.

Data releases come next. Inflation, jobs and growth each trade in bands, one contract per range.

  • The Fed's decision at each meeting, and the rate at year end
  • CPI inflation, month on month and year on year
  • Jobs, unemployment and GDP prints
  • Recession calls, oil prices and company events such as IPOs

What moves economic odds

Data moves these markets. So do the people who set policy, and one Fed speech can shift a rate market overnight.

Between releases, prices drift. In the minutes after one, they jump. Most markets settle within hours of the print.

Traders also watch fed funds futures, which price the same meetings from another angle.

Common questions

What are the odds of a Fed rate cut?

The Fed decision market above prices each outcome for the next meeting. Our Fed rate decision page follows every meeting on one URL.

How are economic prediction markets different from fed funds futures?

Futures price a rate. A prediction market prices a decision, one contract per outcome. So its price reads straight as the chance of a cut, hold or hike.

When do economic markets settle?

Soon after the official release the rules name, such as the BLS for inflation. The settlement date sits on each market's page.

What are the recession odds right now?

Recession markets list their own definition and deadline, and the busiest appear in the table above. Read the rules, since venues define recession differently.

Can I trade economic markets in my state?

In most states, yes, on Polymarket US or Kalshi. Check your state for any action against specific contracts.
