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.

The S&P 500 dropped 4.36% on 5 November 2026 to 7,353.73 — its steepest one-day fall since April 2025 — triggered by an AI-chip selloff that wiped out the post-midterm rally (4 November: +1.72% to 7,698.80). Closing above 7,500 by 13 November requires a +2.0% recovery over 6 trading sessions. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan maintain year-end targets of 7,400–8,100; S&P 500 EPS growth consensus for 2026 stands at +14% YoY. Downside risks: elevated Treasury yields, persistent AI capex uncertainty. No specific Polymarket/Kalshi market found for this level.

The BLS releases October 2026 CPI on November 10, 2026 at 8:30 AM ET. Nowflation forecasts 3.82 percent YoY; the Cleveland Fed nowcasting model forecasts 3.74 percent — both clearly above the 3.7 percent threshold. The September 2026 prior reading was exactly 3.7 percent. Rising energy prices (Strait of Hormuz effectively closed since mid-October) and stable core inflation support a further uptick. An existing open platform prediction covers CPI >3.5%; this forecast raises the bar by 20 basis points. A miss would primarily require unexpected weakness in the energy component or food prices.

Gold (XAU/USD) rose to $4,134.83 on 5 November 2026 — driven by the Democratic midterm sweep (higher fiscal spending expected) and persistent inflation pressure. Kalshi's Dec 31 settlement market shows ~32% probability for a close above $4,400 and ~43% for above $4,300. Reaching the $4,400 year-end target would require a further ~6.4% gain. Supporting factors: fiscal expansion, geopolitical risks, structurally high central bank demand; UBS forecasts $4,800, JPMorgan $6,000 at year-end. Headwind: hawkish Fed stance (Polymarket: 72.5% for a December rate hike to 4.00–4.25%). Prediction anchors on Kalshi's ~32% for >$4,400.
