Feature Article: “Introduction to the CME FedWatch Tool; Stay up-to-date with the latest probabilities of FOMC rate moves.”


The CME FedWatch Tool is a simple but powerful resource for commercial real estate owners and operators. Published by CME Group, it aggregates futures activity from its derivatives marketplace to illustrate the current probabilities for future Federal Reserve rate decisions. The tool translates actual futures trading into simple probabilities for upcoming meetings (e.g., 75% chance of no change, 25% chance of a cut). Since borrowing costs and underwriting assumptions react quickly to these expectations, I use the FedWatch Tool as one of several key inputs when making financial projections. I encourage you to give it a go!
