This market resolves YES if the initial BLS Consumer Price Index release for August 2026 reports that core CPI-U rose 0.3% or more month-over-month on a seasonally adjusted basis. Use the all-items less food and energy Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), BLS series CUSR0000SA0L1E, and the seasonally adjusted percent change from July 2026 to August 2026 in the first BLS August 2026 CPI release. Resolve NO if that seasonally adjusted month-over-month change is 0.2% or lower. Do not use headline CPI, year-over-year CPI, PCE, PPI, not-seasonally-adjusted monthly change, real earnings, or later annual revisions unless BLS corrects the initial August 2026 release before resolution. If the August 2026 CPI release is delayed, wait for the first BLS release of the August 2026 figure unless there is no BLS August 2026 CPI release by September 18, 2026, in which case resolve N/A.
