What this AskClash tool shows
Frequently asked questions
What is the CME FedWatch tool?
The CME FedWatch tool calculates implied probabilities of Fed rate outcomes from 30-Day Fed Funds futures settlement prices. AskClash caches these probabilities so the page loads without waiting on CME.
How often is the FOMC calendar updated?
The collector refreshes probabilities every 2 hours around the clock. Probabilities shift as fed funds futures prices move during market hours.
Are these probabilities guaranteed?
No. FedWatch probabilities reflect futures market pricing, not certainties. They can shift rapidly with economic data, Fed speeches, and market conditions.
How is this different from the economic calendar?
The FOMC Calendar focuses specifically on Fed meeting dates and rate decision probabilities. The broader U.S. Economic Calendar includes CPI, jobs, PCE, GDP, and other macro releases beside FOMC meetings.
