Derivative markets sharply increased wagers on a Federal Reserve interest-rate cut during Chair Jerome Powell’s Aug. 22 remarks, pushing the implied probability of a reduction at the Sept. 16-17 policy meeting to as high as 82%. Futures pricing also briefly suggested traders were bracing for two quarter-percentage-point cuts by the end of 2025. That dovish conviction has since moderated. By Aug. 24, the odds of a September cut had slipped to about 75%, according to pricing tracked by Barchart and prediction platform Polymarket, as investors parsed Powell’s comments and incoming economic data. Market participants remain divided on whether the Fed will begin easing next month or wait for clearer signs that inflation is firmly on track toward its 2% goal.
