Predicted for 17. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The DAX stood at approximately 25,440–25,568 points on September 15, 2026. The FOMC decision falls on September 16 at 20:00 CET – after DAX market close – making September 17 the first European reaction day. CME FedWatch and Polymarket assign ~91% probability to a 25bp hike to 3.75–4.00%, treating it as fully priced in. A close below 25,200 points on September 17 would require unexpectedly hawkish Fed communication or a negative global risk event. The 10-year US Treasury yield stood at 5.02% on September 14 – market stress already partially absorbed. Base case: modest consolidation, no sharp selloff.

Polymarket implies ~48–53% (normalized) for a year-end close above 65,000: the raw sum of categories ≥65,000 (65k–70k: 24%, 70k–75k: 16%, 75k–80k: 8%, 80k–85k: 6%, >85k: 8%) totals 62%, normalizing to ~50%. The Nikkei traded at ~63,835 on September 15, 2026, requiring a ~1.9% rally by year-end. Headwinds: BoJ hikes to 1.25% on September 18, strengthening the yen and pressuring export-heavy index components; FOMC rate hike squeezes global liquidity. Tailwinds: BofA ML raised its Nikkei year-end target to 76,000; structural corporate reforms and AI demand underpin Japanese equities.

Polymarket prices ~92–100% probability for 'No Change' at the BoE's September meeting. The MPC voted 6-3 on July 30, 2026 — three hawkish members backed an immediate hike to 4.00%, none supported a cut. With UK CPI stubbornly above the 2% target, a cut to 3.50% is off the table; the only tail risk is a surprise hike, which the MPC consensus blocks. Economist consensus (HomeOwners Alliance, Cambridge Currencies): hold for the remainder of 2026. The BoE has held at 3.75% for five consecutive meetings since cutting from 4.00% in December 2025.

Nasdaq 100 closed at 28,872.85 on 14 September 2026 (day high 28,891.85). After the anticipated FOMC sell-off on 16 September (existing prediction: NDX <28,500 on FOMC day) and short-term consolidation, the October Q3 earnings season will be pivotal: NVIDIA, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft all report in October 2026. Strong AI-infrastructure demand (NVDA Q3 >$110B already an open prediction) and robust cloud revenues (AWS >37%, Azure >42%, Google Cloud >$17B) could push the tech-heavy index ~3.9% higher to breach 30,000. The existing prediction 'S&P 500 >7,900 on 30 October' implies a positive market backdrop through month-end. No Polymarket market found for this specific level; calibrated to 45%.
