Why

Base rate: Historically, the Federal Reserve has raised rates about 2‑3 times per year, giving a rough baseline probability of roughly 0.30 that a specific meeting will result in a hike. Latest evidence: Recent market commentary (e.g., Economic Times, Mint) and Fed officials’ statements through October 2026 indicate expectations of a rate hold in the near term, with only modest speculation of a possible December increase and no strong consensus for a hike.
