4-bullet brief | narrative

The Kalshi prediction market puts 63% odds on the Fed cutting rates in July 2026 with at least one dissent.
A services-driven growth print at 2.3% alongside factory contraction is a mixed signal, the market is not pricing a clean consensus cut.
The 63% reading suggests markets see a cut as more likely than not, but the dissent component implies internal Fed division is expected.
Cross-check: the Polymarket contract on the Fed making any rate decision between April and July sits at 79%, broadly consistent with an expected but contested July cut.
