Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 98.5% implied probability for March 2026 US CPI year-over-year inflation at ≥2.8%, driven by surging energy costs from escalating Middle East tensions, particularly the Iran conflict, which have spiked oil prices and gasoline. The Cleveland Fed's nowcast projects a 0.84% month-over-month headline CPI increase—far above typical 0.2-0.3%—pushing the annual rate to around 3.25% from February's 2.4%, with contributions from airfares and utilities. This reflects aggregated skin-in-the-game sentiment aligning with previews like Seeking Alpha's 3.2-3.4% range. Realistic challenges include a sharp pre-deadline oil price reversal or nowcast overestimation of volatility, ahead of the Bureau of Labor Statistics release on April 10.

This market will resolve to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the 12-month period ending in March 2026 according to the monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report.
The resolution source for this market will be the BLS Consumer Price Index report released for March 2026 (https://www.bls.gov/bls/news-release/cpi.htm), currently scheduled to be released on April 10, 2026, at 8:30 AM ET. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data.
Note: the resolution source for this market will be the official monthly BLS CPI news release, which reports inflation over 12-month periods to only one decimal point (e.g., 2.9%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
If the BLS does not release the relevant figures on the scheduled date, this market may remain open up until the scheduled release time of the next CPI report (https://www.bls.gov/schedule). If the information is not released by that time, this market will resolve according to the figures of the most recent previous month with available data.
