Frequently asked questions

What are the current Kalshi and Polymarket odds for "Fed decision at the October 28, 2026 FOMC meeting"?

As of the latest recorded books, Kalshi's YES mid is 44.5¢ (bid 0.44, ask 0.45) and Polymarket's is 43.5¢ (bid 0.43, ask 0.44) — a 1.0¢ gap. Prices are recorded continuously; this page refreshes every few minutes.

Has this market been an arbitrage?

Yes — 3 separate windows where buying the cheaper side on each venue cost less than $1 after both fees, first on Sep 11, 2026 and most recently Sep 16, 2026. The largest net edge was 3.30% and windows averaged 20 minutes.

Do both contracts resolve the same way?

The pair was confirmed as the same question (human-reviewed). That judgment covers the headline question; resolution rules can still differ in edge cases (sources, timing, ties). Read both venues' rules before treating a gap as risk-free.

What do the fees do to the gap?

Kalshi charges takers 7% × price × (1 − price) per contract; Polymarket charges its category rate on the same curve. Near 50¢ that is roughly 1.75¢ per contract on Kalshi and 1–1.75¢ on Polymarket, so a visible gap of 3–4¢ is typically the minimum before anything is left.
