Predicted for 7. August 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The US labor market has been resilient throughout 2026: June added 172,000 jobs (vs 85,000 consensus), unemployment at 4.3%. The 80,000 threshold is well below the six-month trend. Risks: energy sector layoffs at lower WTI prices (this platform predicts WTI >$80/bbl on July 22 — moderate oil prices), Iran conflict dampening capital investment. Even a significant labor market slowdown is unlikely to breach 80,000. No specific Polymarket market for July 2026 NFP available.

ONS releases UK headline CPI for June 2026 on July 22 at 7:00 AM GMT. The prior reading (May 2026) was 2.8% YoY (ONS). Given structurally elevated services inflation — consensus for UK Services CPI June is ≥3.5% — and still-strong wage dynamics, the headline rate is expected to rise above 3.0% in June. The Bank of England cut rates to 3.75% without declaring inflation beaten. No Polymarket market found.
