the Fed makes no significant rate cut / policy pivot for at least 12 months from May 2023 (through ~May 2024)
Deadline 2024-05-11 elapsed with zero rate cuts; first cut was 2024-09-18, ~4 months after the deadline. The written criterion (no significant rate cut / pivot for 12 months from May 2023 through ~May 2024) is unambiguously satisfied by official Fed data. Cleanest of the three. No outcome value assigned here.

Outcome evidence
The FOMC held the federal funds target range at 5.25%–5.50% from its July 2023 hike until its first cut on September 18, 2024 (a 50bp cut to 4.75%–5.00%), the first reduction since March 2020 — i.e. the Fed made NO rate cut / no pivot across the entire May 2023 → May 2024 window.
Congressional Research Service / official FOMC calendar confirm rates were held steady through the first half of 2024 as Q1 2024 inflation reaccelerated to ~3.4%, delaying any cut well past May 2024.
