Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 15. July 2026 · Predicted for 31. July 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

43%

ECI published July 31, 2026 at 8:30 AM ET. Historical ECI: +0.9% QoQ in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. With persistently tight labor market (US Initial Claims <230k per existing prediction), ongoing wage negotiations in healthcare and IT, and energy price pressure from the Hormuz crisis, wage inflation remains sticky. A reading >0.9% QoQ would be slightly above consensus of ~0.8–0.9% and would dampen Fed rate-cut expectations for late 2026. No Polymarket quote available.
