Kalshi 28%

record: CMSIG2026062205 | category: momentum-repricing | target: CM-EVT-X2TT2M9D02 | published: 2026-06-22

4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi prices a Federal Reserve benchmark rate cut before 2027 at 28%, meaning the market puts nearly three-to-one odds against any cut this year.
Warsh's communications cutback removes a key signaling channel; markets are pricing the opacity as hawkish, consistent with BofA's no-cut-until-2028 call.
The Fed funds ladder separately shows the upper bound most likely holding at 3.75%, not rising, so the 28% cut probability reflects a narrow window for easing rather than a hike cycle.
Resolves via Federal Reserve; an actual policy rate reduction must be announced before January 1, 2027 for YES resolution.
