This is a market about core inflation (excluding food and energy) over the 12-month period ending July 2026, before seasonal adjustment, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This market will resolve to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers excluding food and energy (Core CPI-U) over the 12-month period ending in July 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 July 2026 (https://www.bls.gov/bls/news-release/cpi.htm), currently scheduled to be released on August 12, 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 core inflation (all items less food and energy) over 12-month periods to only one decimal point (e.g., 2.8%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. For the avoidance of doubt, this market resolves on the core CPI figure — the all items index excluding food and energy — not the headline all items CPI figure. 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.Recent June 2026 core CPI data, which printed flat month-over-month and eased to 2.6% year-over-year against higher expectations, has reinforced trader views of ongoing disinflation, positioning the 2.4% and 2.5% outcomes as the clear market-implied favorites at 56% and 37.5% respectively ahead of the August 12 release. Cleveland Fed nowcasts and economist consensus project a modest 0.2% monthly rise yielding 2.5% annually, reflecting continued softness in core goods and shelter components after the prior month's broad-based cooling. With the report imminent, these probabilities embed the latest labor market and energy price trends while acknowledging potential upside risks from persistent services inflation or tariff effects that could push readings toward 2.6%.
