Probability

74%

The BLS confirmed on September 11, 2026 that August 2026 headline CPI was above 3.0% YoY (accelerating from July's 3.4%). Brent crude at $105–108/bbl remains well above the prior-year level of ~$80–85, keeping energy-driven headline CPI elevated for September as well. Core CPI stands at 2.4%; the ~0.8pp headline-core gap is almost entirely attributable to energy. Even with moderate oil-price easing, September CPI headline is very likely to remain above 3.0% YoY.

Verdict: Hit

Der BLS veröffentlichte die September-2026-CPI-Daten am 14. Oktober 2026. Die Headline-CPI-Rate lag bei 3,7 % YoY – deutlich über dem Schwellenwert von 3,0 %. Haupttreiber war ein Anstieg der Benzinpreise um +9,1 % im Monatsvergleich (hohe Ölpreise wie in der Vorhersage antizipiert). Kern-CPI lag bei 2,6 %. Die Vorhersage ist klar eingetreten.

S&P 500 (SPX) closes above 7,500 on Friday, 13 November 2026 (confirmed via NYSE closing price or Bloomberg by 14 November 2026, 10:00 ET)

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.

US Consumer Price Index (headline CPI) for October 2026 exceeds 3.7 percent year-on-year — BLS release November 10, 2026, 8:30 AM ET (confirmed by BLS or Bloomberg by November 10, 2026, 10:00 AM ET)

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.
