**Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors a 0.3% or 0.4% monthly rise in the August 2026 CPI, with combined implied probabilities exceeding 80%, consistent with consensus forecasts around 0.35–0.39% MoM.** July’s soft 0.1% headline print (core +0.2%) set a low base, but analysts anticipate a rebound from rising gasoline prices—the first increase since May—alongside firmer food costs and continued shelter/services pressure. Core CPI projections cluster near 0.24% MoM. The September 11 BLS release arrives just days before the FOMC meeting, keeping focus on whether energy and housing components push the outcome toward the upper end of the favored range or allow a softer 0.3% result. Recent labor-market softening provides a modest counterbalance but has not materially altered the near-term inflation trajectory in trader positioning.
