This market may not resolve to "No" until the December 2026 report is issued.

If the CPI report for December 2026 is not issued by January 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve based on CPI figures which have already been made available by the BLS.
Note: the resolution source for this market will be the official monthly BLS CPI news release which reports inflation over 12 month periods to only one decimal point (e.g. 2.9%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.Recent May 2026 CPI data showed headline inflation accelerating to 4.2% year-over-year from 3.8% in April, the highest level since 2023, driven primarily by a sharp energy price spike tied to Middle East geopolitical tensions and resulting gasoline and fuel cost surges. Core CPI rose to 2.9%, reflecting some pass-through effects alongside persistent shelter and food components. Trader sentiment on the Polymarket reflects these pressures alongside lingering tariff impacts, fiscal deficit expansion, and shifting labor supply dynamics from immigration policy, which could sustain upside risks through year-end. Market-implied odds assign meaningful probability to peaks above 4.5%, with upcoming monthly CPI releases, FOMC communications, and Treasury yield movements serving as key near-term catalysts that could shift consensus on the 2026 peak.
