This market will resolve to "Yes" if the figure for "Average Price: Ground Beef, 100% Beef (Cost per Pound/453.6 Grams) in U.S. City Average" reaches or exceeds the listed figure for any month of 2026 as published by the St. Louis Fed (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000703112). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". 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.Trader sentiment on ground beef price thresholds for 2026 hinges on a severe U.S. cattle supply shortage, with January inventories at a 75-year low of 86.2 million head per USDA data, down 1% year-over-year amid prolonged herd liquidation. March 2026 BLS retail prices for 100% ground beef averaged $6.70 per pound, up 16% from 2025 levels, fueled by robust demand and 4% first-quarter production declines. Recent USDA forecasts (April 2026) project further 2% beef output contraction and over 10% retail price gains, with wholesale steer prices at $240 per cwt and cutout values exceeding $350/cwt. Key catalysts include monthly BLS CPI food indexes, May Cattle on Feed reports, and summer grilling demand testing price elasticity through year-end resolution.
