Predicted for 31. July 2026

Based on: Historical Cycle
US Core PCE (excluding energy and food) was 3.4% YoY in May 2026 — in line with the Dow Jones consensus. A drop below 3.0% within a single month would only be plausible with significant base effects or a sharp drop in core goods prices — both unlikely given ongoing import tariff effects (Trump tariffs). The FOMC projects 2026 PCE inflation of 3.0–3.5% (Fed, June 17, 2026). Kalshi/Lines.com assigns 33% probability to exactly 3.4% — the majority of remaining market probability also falls at ≥3.0%. Separate, non-overlapping forecast: US ECI Q2 (also July 31 BLS) is already covered as an open prediction.
Data basis for this prediction
- US Core PCE Mai 2026: 3,4 % YoY, +0,3 % MoM – in Linie mit Dow-Jones-Konsens (CNBC, 25. Juni 2026)
- Kalshi / Lines.com Präzisionsmarkt: 33 % Wahrscheinlichkeit auf Core PCE YoY Juni 2026 = genau 3,4 % (Stand 2. Juli 2026)
- FOMC-Projektionen Juni 2026: PCE-Inflation 2026 erwartet im Bereich 3,0–3,5 % (Federal Reserve, 17. Juni 2026)
- BEA Core PCE Veröffentlichungstermin Juni 2026: 31. Juli 2026

Verdict: Hit
Der US Core PCE (ohne Energie und Lebensmittel) notierte für Juni 2026 bei 3,3 % YoY – veröffentlicht durch das BEA am 31. Juli 2026 (Quelle: BEA 'Personal Income and Outlays, June 2026'). Die Vorhersage, dass der Wert bei ≥3,0 % liegen würde, ist damit klar eingetreten. Der Rückgang von 3,4 % (Mai) auf 3,3 % (Juni) war minimal und bestätigte die Einschätzung, dass ein Unterschreiten der 3,0 %-Marke innerhalb eines Monats angesichts der Tarif-Effekte unwahrscheinlich sei.

Polymarket shows a 53% probability for a 25 basis point hike as of September 10, 2026. US Core CPI August 2026 (release September 11) is expected by market consensus to be above 3.0% YoY. The ECB raised its deposit rate by 25 bps to 2.50% on September 10, 2026 – an inflation-fighting signal that provides cover for the Fed. Against a hike: a mild slowdown in US industrial output. CME FedWatch also shows ~53% probability for a hike.

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. A year-end close above $100,000 (not just a touch) is more demanding: median year-end contract estimates imply ~$81,000. Arguments for >$100k close: historical Q4 seasonality (+49% in Q4 2024, +56% in Q4 2023), ETF inflows, institutional demand. Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
