Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors annual U.S. CPI for March landing at or above 3.4% (42.4% implied probability), with 3.3% close behind at 28%, reflecting economist forecasts averaging 3.4%—a tick up from February's 3.2% print. Key drivers include sticky shelter costs, which rose 5.7% year-over-year last month per BLS data, and rebounding energy prices amid geopolitical tensions, offsetting softer goods deflation. Recent robust March jobs report (303K nonfarm payrolls) has tempered rate-cut hopes, bolstering inflation persistence views ahead of the April 10 CPI release. Market-implied odds underscore uncertainty around core measures, with historical precedents showing frequent upside surprises in headline figures.

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.
Market Opened: Mar 11, 2026, 1:28 PM ET
