@itsTomekK resolves NO, thanks.

bought Ṁ34 of YES

Im happy to cash out at 8%

bought Ṁ5 of YES

I'm buying yes, even if all statements from Fed, make it think rate cuts won't happen. Fed already has all possible evidence that inflation is on the right track and it just doesn't make any sense to keep rate hikes so high

For now, it looks like Manifold was right and real life markets were wrong.

predicted NO

@riverwalk3 I think one thing a lot of people don't appreciate about e.g. the CME Fedwatch data is that the volume on those futures is very low even a few months out; imo it's unsurprising for a >3 month Fedwatch prediction to be "wrong" (in the sense of - giving a plurality of the probability mass to the wrong option)

@draaglom Inflation surprised to the upside and unemployment also surprised to the downside. GDP was much hotter than expected.

A 110%. All you need to do is project 6m annualized just before March Fomc. My estimate is at 2.2%
