How to read this tool

What are these probabilities?

Derived from 30-Day Fed Funds Futures prices traded on CME. If the market prices a futures contract implying a rate of 4.10%, and a hold would give 4.33%, the math implies ~92% hold probability.

What is the terminal rate?

The market-implied rate at the final FOMC meeting shown. It represents where futures traders collectively expect the Fed to end the year — not where rates will definitely go.

Yield curve implication

When futures price in many cuts, the yield curve typically steepens (long rates above short rates). When cuts are priced out, the curve can invert — historically a recession signal.
