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 showing a 0.1% month-over-month rise, following June’s 0.4% decline, combined with Cleveland Fed nowcasts projecting 0.35% headline and 0.20% core for August, anchors trader expectations around modest gains near 0.3–0.4%. Shelter costs, which contributed two-thirds of July’s increase, food-at-home trends, and volatile energy components—particularly gasoline amid lingering Middle East supply concerns—introduce meaningful dispersion across outcomes. With top probabilities clustered between 21% and 32.5%, markets reflect uncertainty over whether cooling energy prices or persistent services inflation will dominate the August print. The September 11 release and intervening high-frequency indicators such as weekly gasoline data remain the key near-term catalysts shaping these implied odds.
