This index measures market-implied expectations of a hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy stance by aggregating across multiple binary outcomes from underlying prediction markets. Constituent questions cover cumulative rate-cut occurrence over the calendar year, single-meeting decision outcomes, depth-of-cycle threshold pricing on the federal funds lower bound, and tail-risk active tightening. Index movements reflect changes in market-implied expectations of restrictive Fed policy across these dimensions, not point predictions of any single rate decision. The index is paired with USDOVE, which measures the inverse expectation.
