Tight cattle inventories at 75-year lows, driven by prolonged drought and elevated feed costs, remain the dominant force supporting elevated ground beef prices in 2026, with USDA forecasts projecting wholesale beef prices to advance another 6.9% after last year’s 13.9% gain. Retail ground beef averaged $6.69 per pound by late 2025 and continues near record levels amid resilient consumer demand that has outpaced overall food inflation. Limited domestic production, expected to fall below 26 billion pounds, is being offset by rising imports of lean trimmings, while strong seasonal demand through summer grilling periods could sustain upward pressure on cutout values. Traders are monitoring fed-cattle price trajectories near $235 per hundredweight and any shifts in import volumes or feed-cost trends that could alter the supply-demand balance before year-end resolution.

The St. Louis Fed bases its numbers for ground beef prices on the BLS's CPI release. This market will immediately resolve to "Yes" upon a qualifying update of the St. Louis Fed's chart. If no data for any month of 2026 is released by the scheduled date for the January 2027 CPI release, this market will resolve according to the data for 2026 already available at that time.
The resolution source for this market measures prices to the third decimal place. Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
