CME FedWatch data cited by BlockBeats showed a 79.6% implied probability of a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate hike in December and a 20.4% probability of unchanged rates as of the report published October 29 at 17:01 UTC.
Market-implied odds
The figures are futures-based market pricing, not Federal Reserve guidance or an official forecast. They can change as interest-rate contracts, economic data and policy expectations move. The CME live page was not independently retrieved for this review, so the snapshot remains attributed to BlockBeats citing FedWatch.
December meeting
The Federal Reserve’s official calendar lists the next December 8-9, 2026 FOMC meeting. The BlockBeats flash referred to the decision as the December meeting and reported the probabilities available at its publication time.
