Predicted for 29. July 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The effective Federal Funds Rate has been in the 3.50–3.75% target range for several months (confirmed by prediction history: 'Fed holds at 4.25–4.50%' was a miss because rate was already at 3.50–3.75%, CNBC/FRED, July 9, 2026). US CPI for June 2026 was reported at 3.8% YoY on July 14 – well above the Fed's 2.0% target. This means the condition for a cut (inflation on target path) is not met. An upward rate move is also unlikely: the labor market is moderate, and Iran-driven oil price inflation (+10% weekly Brent) is supply-side and would make tightening counterproductive. Polymarket trades 'Fed Decision in July?' as one of its most active economy markets – implied probability of an unchanged rate is very high.

Verdict: Hit
Die Federal Reserve hat am 29. Juli 2026 den Leitzins mit 9:3-Stimmen unverändert im Zielband 3,50–3,75 % belassen. Die drei Gegenstimmen (Hammack/Cleveland, Kashkari/Minneapolis, Logan/Dallas) plädierten für eine Anhebung, da die Inflation weiter über dem 2-%-Ziel liegt. Die Vorhersage traf exakt ein – sowohl das Zielband als auch die Entscheidung zum Stillhalten sind korrekt.

Take-Two Interactive reports Q2 FY2027 (July–September 2026) results on November 9 after market close. Estimated analyst consensus: approx. -$0.45 EPS (heavy investment cycle around GTA VI and other AAA titles). TTWO has beaten consensus in 6 of the last 8 quarters; strong Recurrent Consumer Spending base (mobile, NBA 2K, GTA Online) consistently delivers positive surprises on cost discipline. Report date confirmed by TipRanks Earnings Calendar (as of Nov 8, 2026). Verification by TTWO Investor Relations or Bloomberg by November 10, 2026, 10:00 ET.

Constellation Energy reports Q3-FY2026 tomorrow (November 9, 2026) before market open. TradingView and Gurufocus put the EPS consensus at $3.90/share, with revenue consensus at $9.23B. CEG has beaten estimates in 7 of the last 8 quarters — an 87.5% historical beat rate. Driver: Structurally rising nuclear power demand for AI data centers (e.g., Microsoft contracts) boosts reactor utilization and secures stable cash flows. Risk: Stock fell ~9% post-midterm results, reflecting repriced regulatory uncertainty that could overshadow near-term operational strength. Strong fundamentals and consistent beat history nevertheless support another consensus beat.

Walmart has beaten EPS estimates for four consecutive quarters. The official consensus is $0.64/share — identical to the top of management guidance ($0.62–$0.64). Analysts average $0.72 (range $0.70–$0.73), anticipating another structural beat. Drivers: Robust US consumer (October CPI ~3.5–3.7%; September retail sales +0.8% MoM), ongoing grocery market share gains, and strong e-commerce and advertising growth. Risk: Management lowered full-year guidance after Q2; macro headwinds from elevated prices could compress volume mixes. The consistent beat history and structural tailwinds prevail.
