US Fed Interest Rate Decision: what the market did after each print
The federal funds target rate announced at the end of each scheduled policy meeting. Below are the last 3 releases on record, each with the actual against the forecast and the move MoveSurge measured in the minutes that followed.
Sample size: 3 prints on record, Jun 17, 2026 to Sep 16, 2026. A reaction was recorded on 2 of them; measurement of this series starts Jun 17, 2026. Of those, 2 produced a move large enough to show and 0 did not. The remaining 1 carry no reaction we can report.

Split by beat and miss
Only the releases that produced a measured move appear here, each listed on its own. No average is taken across them: with a sample this size an averaged figure would claim a regularity the record cannot support.

How the move is measured
MoveSurge prices an economic release against its own clock rather than against the close. A reference level is taken just before the print reaches the tape, and the same instruments are sampled again over the window named beside each figure. The percentages above are those samples.
An instrument appears only where the measurement is attributed to this release and the move clears the band MoveSurge uses to call a move worth showing anywhere in the product. A print whose instruments all sat inside that band reads “no measurable move”, which is a measurement rather than a gap — most economic prints land there.
“No reaction recorded” is a different statement: no measurement exists for that print, or the one that exists was not attributed to it. Those prints keep their actual, forecast and previous figures and claim nothing about the market.
