Treasury yields are unchanged after President Trump postponed military strikes on Iran, citing positive diplomatic talks. The probability of the Fed implementing a Cut–Pause–Pause sequence by June sits at 67% YES.

The delay in military action has reduced immediate geopolitical pressure, and several Fed-related prediction markets have moved in response. The Fed Cut–Pause–Pause market for June 2026, with 67 days until resolution, reflects a cautious stance as traders weigh reduced geopolitical risk. The Fed decision in July shows an 84.5% chance of no rate change, up from 80% a week ago, pointing to more settled expectations for near-term monetary policy.

Traders are recalibrating positions around the postponed strikes and diplomatic developments. With immediate threats reduced, the Fed faces less pressure toward aggressive rate cuts. The Fed decision in April market has seen decreased odds for a substantial policy shift.

Trading volume in the July market is $35,807 in USDC, with $4,369 required to move prices by 5 points. That indicates moderate liquidity. The largest recent move was a 2-point drop. At 84.5%, a YES share for no rate change in July pays 1.18x. The market leans toward stability but remains exposed to shifts in geopolitical or economic conditions.

The postponement is a short-term reprieve, not a resolution of underlying risks. Watch Jerome Powell’s upcoming press conference and FOMC meeting outcomes, particularly any changes in narrative or policy stance that could move these markets.
