Tight U.S. cattle inventories at 86.2 million head—a 75-year low per USDA's January 2026 report—continue driving ground beef scarcity, with BLS average retail prices for 100% beef holding at $6.70 per pound in March 2026, up 16% year-over-year despite a slight monthly dip. Persistent herd contraction from prior droughts and high feed costs limits supply, while robust domestic demand for ground beef—bolstered by lean beef imports—sustains upward pressure. USDA's latest outlook projects beef prices rising 5.5% to over 10% in 2026, amid forecasts for higher fed-cattle values near $240 per cwt. Key catalysts include BLS April price data on May 12 and the July Cattle Inventory report, which could confirm rebuilding pace or prolong tightness.

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.
