Forecast resolution: the Fed's Sept 2025 decision

A three-way prediction pot resolved from the real FOMC statement, fetched from federalreserve.gov. The statement also mentions a dissent for a larger cut, which a careless reader can mistake for the decision.

Forecast settlement. The statement is the real Federal Reserve text as fetched; the forecasting market between two players is invented. One FOMC member dissented for a larger cut, a detail that could mislead a careless reader.

The contract, in English

Three-way prediction pot on the Federal Reserve's September 16–17, 2025 FOMC meeting. Each player staked 100 PLAY, 300 PLAY total.
Ana wins if the Committee lowers the federal funds target range by exactly 1/4 percentage point.
Ben wins if it lowers the range by 1/2 percentage point or more.
Cai wins if it leaves the range unchanged or raises it.
The winner takes the whole 300 PLAY pot. Resolve from the Committee's official statement. If no decision is announced by 2025-09-30, everyone gets their 100 PLAY back.

Compiled by anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5 in 2 attempt(s), then audited against the English by a second model family (openai/gpt-5-mini). Compile cost $0.0151. Recorded Nov 3, 2026, 7:13 AM PT.

Auditor's verdict

Round 1: not faithful
  • Escrow funder incorrect / missing per-player stakes: spec lists a single funder 'ana' funding 300 PLAY, but English says each player staked 100 PLAY (three separate 100 PLAY stakes).
  • Missing explicit representation that each party contributed 100 PLAY individually (spec only records total 300 and a single funder).
  • Judgment guidance adds a measurement rule ('from the prior target range midpoint') that is not in the English text — the English only says 'Resolve from the Committee's official statement' and does not mandate measuring from the midpoint.
  • evidenceSources provides kind 'url' but no URL/locator is included; the English requires the Committee's official statement as the source (spec should point to it).
Round 2: not faithful
  • Spec sets escrow.funder to Ana (claims Ana funded the full 300 PLAY). The English states each player staked 100 PLAY; it does not say Ana alone funded the escrow.

The auditor still raised points, shown unedited above. In a real deployment a human party signs off on the spec before funds are escrowed. The compiler is not trusted to be right.

Read “FOMC statement, Sept 17 2025 (federalreserve.gov)”
September 17, 2025 Federal Reserve issues FOMC statement For release at 2:00 p.m. EDT Recent indicators suggest that growth of economic activity moderated in the first half of the year. Job gains have slowed, and the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. Inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen. In support of its goals and in light of the shift in the balance of risks, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 4 to 4‑1/4 percent. In considering additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage‑backed securities. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective. In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments. Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michael S. Barr; Michelle W. Bowman; Susan M. Collins; Lisa D. Cook; Austan D. Goolsbee; Philip N. Jefferson; Alberto G. Musalem; Jeffrey R. Schmid; and Christopher J. Waller. Voting against this action was Stephen I. Miran, who preferred to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/2 percentage point at this meeting.

2 · Commit, then reveal

Every juror first publishes a signed commitment, sha256(juror, answerHash, salt). Only after all commitments are in (commit set 43901f7a…51af) are answers revealed and checked against them. Nobody can copy or change an answer after seeing the others. NA and invalid replies are dropped and not charged.

Contract: FOMC September 2025 Federal Funds Rate Prediction Pot
Three-way prediction market on the Federal Reserve's September 16–17, 2025 FOMC decision. Each player stakes 100 PLAY; the winner takes all 300 PLAY based on the Committee's official rate decision.

Question (clause fomc_decision): What action did the Federal Reserve Committee take regarding the federal funds target range in its September 16–17, 2025 FOMC meeting statement?

Contract guidance: Consult the Federal Reserve's official FOMC statement. Determine the change to the federal funds target range: (1) if lowered by exactly 0.25 percentage points, Ana wins; (2) if lowered by 0.5 percentage points or more, Ben wins; (3) if unchanged or raised, Cai wins; (4) if no official statement is published by 2025-09-30, all players are refunded.

Allowed outcomes:
- "ana_wins": Ana wins: the Committee lowers the federal funds target range by exactly 0.25 percentage points
- "ben_wins": Ben wins: the Committee lowers the federal funds target range by 0.5 percentage points or more
- "cai_wins": Cai wins: the Committee leaves the federal funds target range unchanged or raises it
- "no_decision": No official decision announced by deadline; all players refunded their stakes
- "NA": abstain, if the evidence does not let you decide.

September 17, 2025 Federal Reserve issues FOMC statement For release at 2:00 p.m. EDT Recent indicators suggest that growth of economic activity moderated in the first half of the year. Job gains have slowed, and the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. Inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen. In support of its goals and in light of the shift in the balance of risks, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 4 to 4‑1/4 percent. In considering additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage‑backed securities. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective. In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments. Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michael S. Barr; Michelle W. Bowman; Susan M. Collins; Lisa D. Cook; Austan D. Goolsbee; Philip N. Jefferson; Alberto G. Musalem; Jeffrey R. Schmid; and Christopher J. Waller. Voting against this action was Stephen I. Miran, who preferred to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/2 percentage point at this meeting.
