Predicted for 9. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
China's CPI slowed to 0.5% YoY in July 2026 (confirmed by NBS, August 2026) — halved compared to June's 1.0% reading. Structural deflationary forces remain intact: weak domestic demand, persistent overcapacity in the property sector, cautious consumer behavior. Core CPI was 0.9% YoY in July. For Headline CPI to rise to ≥1.0% YoY within one month would require significant food or energy price shocks — none communicated to date. PPI showed 3.5% YoY in July (declining from 4.1% in June) and filters through to CPI with a lag. No Polymarket market for China CPI August 2026; estimate based on trend momentum.

- China CPI Juli 2026: 0,5 % YoY, Core CPI 0,9 % YoY (NBS, stats.gov.cn, August 2026)

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end.
