Predicted for 29. August 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The BEA releases July PCE data on 29 August. An existing Cassandra prediction forecasts headline PCE ≥3.1%, driven by sharply higher energy prices from the Middle East crisis. Core PCE (ex food and energy) was anchored at 2.6–2.8% YoY through Q2 2026. Historically, core runs 0.4–0.9 pp below headline when energy prices are the driving factor. The Cleveland Fed Nowcast for July 2026 pointed to Core PCE near 2.7–2.8%. Thus <3.0% is the modal outcome, though an unexpected energy pass-through into core components (airfares, transport) could nudge it just above 3.0%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Cleveland Fed Inflation Nowcast Juli 2026: Core PCE ~2,7–2,8% (clevelandfed.org, Aug 2026)
- BEA PCE-Kalendertermin: 29. August 2026 (bea.gov)
- Cassandra-Basisvorhersage: Headline-PCE Juli 2026 ≥3,1% (intern, auf Energiepreisdaten gestützt)

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%.
