Predicted for 29. July 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
The current Fed policy rate stands at 3.50–3.75% (effective 3.62% as of July 2026). Polymarket assigns 82% probability to an unchanged outcome at the July FOMC meeting (decision: July 29, 2 pm ET). The US PCE deflator stood at 4.10% YoY in May 2026 — well above the 2% target, ruling out cuts. Geopolitical shocks (Iran-US conflict, Hormuz tensions) add uncertainty. No open market consensus contradicts a hold.

EUR/USD trades at 1.1409–1.1413 on July 21, 2026. Drivers for further dollar weakness: (1) Fed rate-cut path expected from H2 2026 (market-implied: 2 cuts by year-end as inflation falls), (2) ECB rate hike to 2.50% in September 2026 (Polymarket ~70%), (3) Continuing Resolution instead of FY2027 budget raises US fiscal risk, (4) reduction of Iran risk premium post-ceasefire. Headwind: US PCE at 4.10% substantially limits Fed room. IMF/Bloomberg Consensus median forecast: 1.12–1.15 by year-end. No specific EUR/USD Polymarket market; calibration 45%.
