# Fed spread: the tool can't pair Kalshi levels with Polymarket deltas

**Observed 2026-10-08 ~18:23 UTC.** Pipeworx `polymarket_kalshi_spread(topic: "fed")` matched Kalshi **KXFED-26OCT** ("upper bound above X", 11 legs) with Polymarket "Fed Decision in October?" (cut/hold/hike, 5 legs). Result: `matched_pairs: 0`, 55 legs skipped as unclassified; the selector note says the two sides "are about different statistics". Its own `resolution_audit` reported the settlement as equivalent (both Federal Reserve FOMC).

They are convertible. FRED DFEDTARU = 4.00 and DFEDTARL = 3.75 on 2026-10-08, so:

| outcome | Kalshi | Polymarket | gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| hike | P(above 4.00) = 16.5% | 15.5% + 0.35% = 15.85% | 0.65pp |
| hold | 99.5% − 16.5% = 83.0% | 83.5% | 0.5pp |
| cut | 1 − 99.5% = 0.5% | 0.45% + 0.15% = 0.6% | 0.1pp |

The venues agreed within ~0.65pp, below combined taker fees. Prices move; this is a snapshot.

**How to avoid:** when matched_pairs is 0 on the Fed topic, convert using the current target range from FRED before concluding the venues can't be compared.
