Kalshi
This market tracks whether the seasonally adjusted core Consumer Price Index for urban consumers will increase month-over-month in July 2026. On Kalshi, the probability that core CPI rises above 0.0% stands at 99.0%. The resolution will be determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' official CPI report for July 2026. Watch for the BLS release scheduled for August 12, 2026, which will provide the definitive seasonally adjusted core inflation figure for the month.
Resolution is determined by the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items less Food and Energy for July 2026, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to one decimal place. Each outcome corresponds to a specific monthly core inflation threshold: the market resolves Yes if the reported month-over-month change exceeds the threshold for that outcome. All outcomes use the same underlying data source and measurement methodology. In the event of a federal government shutdown that impacts data reliability, the market's expiration date will be extended to the sooner of either the data release or six months after the shutdown ends.
Several catalysts could shift CPI core in July odds before the July release. June CPI data will provide the most recent inflation print and set expectations for July momentum. Federal Reserve communications, including FOMC statements and Chair Powell remarks, signal policy direction and inflation concerns. Employment reports, wage growth data, and commodity prices influence inflation expectations. Retail sales and consumer spending figures suggest demand-side pressure. Energy prices and supply-chain developments affect input costs. Unexpected geopolitical events or financial market shocks can reprrice inflation risk. Each data release or policy signal typically triggers repricing on Kalshi as traders update their probability estimates.
