Superseded · read WET Implied Fed Path (WIFP) instead
The desk publishes a stronger construction of this same subject and stands behind that one. This reading keeps its page and its full dated history; what it has lost is its place on the board, so that one subject does not arrive at a reader as two competing current indices. It is still published and its dated history is intact, but it is not part of the listed suite and should not be quoted as a current W.E.T. index. It does not return while WETFED publishes this thesis family: a second row about one subject, under one name, with two version numbers counting different things, is precisely the collision the board consolidation was shipped to end.

W.E.T. Fed Path Index
v6SlateMonthlyAs of Sep 5, 2026 · last moved Sep 4, 2026 · scale 0–100 (On hold / tightening → Easing priced)
The market-implied pressure for the Fed to ease, on a 0–100 scale.
Superseded — successor: WET Implied Fed Path (WIFP). the successor reads the meeting strips directly — an expected rate change in basis points per meeting, not a 0–100 gauge over mixed expiries. This page and its full history remain published for continuity.

Equal notional from each holding’s inception mark, re-marked at the two-sided mid. Percentages only, size-blind — never a cash figure and never a performance claim.
Cost to cross is the weighted half-spread at the touch on the newest mark tape: what entering at the quote rather than the midpoint would have cost. It is the price of the FIRST unit and says nothing about the tenth — the resting size beside each holding is published so a reader can judge whether their own size fits. It is not deducted from any return above.
A published measurement of what these markets did together. Not an account, not directly investable; W.E.T. never handles orders.

Daily close
36d published · interactive36 published close(s) — 0–100 (On hold / tightening → Easing priced). Drag to pan, scroll to zoom. One slot per published close, not one per day: dates on the axis are real, the spacing between them is not. 11 day(s) inside this window published no close and are not drawn at all. For the calendar-true spacing, read the chart below. Drawn as a line, not candles: a daily close carries no open, high or low, and a candle would assert an intraday range nobody observed.
History & 14-day projection
solid = 36d published · dashed = projected · shaded = 80% bandModel extrapolation of the published series (robust trend, 36 readings, slope +0.10/day, projection σ 2.3 pts/d widened for a 36-reading sample) — a benchmark projection, not a W.E.T. forecast.

The view this index measures
Every W.E.T. index tracks a question someone can hold a view on. This one is mapped to these 2 questions in the Worldview thesis map. Answering one places you on its continuum; this index is what that answer is measurable against.
Where do interest rates go from here?
Cuts come soonerHigher for longerWhere does inflation go from here?

WFPI · at a glance

- High vs low
- Higher = markets pricing more/near-term easing (cuts). Lower = on hold or tightening.
- Who cares
- Rates traders, macro reporters, and anyone reading the rate-cut odds ahead of an FOMC meeting.
