Based on: Statistical Pattern
US headline CPI in July 2026 was 3.4% YoY (+0.1% MoM, BLS August 12, 2026). For August to fall below 3.2% would require a 0.2 percentage point drop in one month — unlikely in a stagflationary environment (NFP August forecast ~50,000, Brent >$93, persistent services inflation). The inverted Fed reaction function (weak NFP = more hike risk) confirms structural inflation persists. Probability approximately 75%.
