Traders see the August 2026 U.S. CPI annual rate as closely contested between 3.4% and 3.3% amid mixed signals from recent economic releases. July CPI data, core services inflation, and energy price volatility continue to shape expectations, while the labor market's gradual cooling and Treasury yield movements influence views on the Fed's policy path. Upcoming August employment figures and any fresh FOMC commentary represent key swing factors that could shift the implied probabilities before the mid-September release. The tight spread between the two leading outcomes reflects ongoing uncertainty in the inflation trajectory and the market's sensitivity to incoming data.

This market will resolve to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the 12-month period ending in August 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 August 2026 (https://www.bls.gov/bls/news-release/cpi.htm), currently scheduled to be released on September 11, 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.
