This event group tracks the month-over-month change in the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for February 2026, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Both platforms resolve based on the official BLS CPI report scheduled for release on March 11, 2026, at 8:30 AM ET, with precision to one decimal point (e.g., 0.4%).
Polymarket uses threshold-based (greater-than-or-equal) binary questions while Kalshi uses exact-value binary outcomes. Both resolve from the same official BLS CPI-U data, but market winners differ based on the underlying CPI result.
Hero Tip:
Polymarket markets can have multiple simultaneous winners depending on the CPI result; Kalshi markets are mutually exclusive (exactly one winner per release). Cross-platform arbitrage is possible but requires careful threshold mapping. Example: if CPI is 0.3%, Polymarket's 0.2% and 0.0%-or-less markets both resolve YES, but Kalshi's 0.3% market is the only winner.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Six binary threshold-based markets asking whether CPI-U month-over-month will be at or above specific levels (0.2%, 0.0% or less, 0.1%, 0.4% or more, 0.3%). Resolution uses one-decimal-point precision from official BLS report. Key Quote: 'This market will resolve to the one-month percent change in the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in February 2026 according to the monthly BLS report.'
Kalshi: Nine binary exact-match markets, each resolving YES only if CPI-U month-over-month equals a specific value (-0.2%, 0.0%, -0.1%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%). Key Quote: 'If the CPI month-over-month is exactly 0.3% in Feb 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.'
