This is a market about the one-month percent change in the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This market will resolve to the one-month percent change in the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in August 2026 according to the monthly 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 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which BLS reports to one decimal point (e.g. 0.4%). 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.Recent July CPI data printed a soft 0.1% MoM (3.4% YoY), aligning with expectations amid cooling energy prices, yet Cleveland Fed nowcasts for August point to a firmer 0.36% MoM reading as of late August. This supports trader positioning favoring 0.4% outcomes on Polymarket, driven by potential rebounds in shelter costs, used vehicles, and services categories following June’s weakness, alongside lingering tariff pass-through and normalized energy volatility. Broader context includes July PCE at 0.2% MoM (3.7% YoY), with core measures holding above the Fed’s 2% target and markets monitoring incoming data for September FOMC implications. The 0.3% bucket retains secondary support if moderation persists.
