This market asks whether the Bureau of Labor Statistics will report a 0.5% month-over-month increase in core CPI for May 2026. Core CPI strips out food and energy, so it is one of the cleanest monthly gauges of underlying U.S. inflation and a closely watched release for anyone tracking price pressure.
The contract resolves to the one-month percent change in the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers excluding food and energy, as published in the BLS monthly CPI report for May 2026. The key date is the BLS release scheduled for June 10, 2026 at 8:30 AM ET, and the market uses the official BLS figure rounded to one decimal place, such as 0.3% or 0.5%.
A 0.5% monthly core CPI print would be a notably firm inflation reading, so this market captures uncertainty around whether monthly price increases come in hot, moderate, or cooler than that threshold. Because core CPI feeds into expectations about inflation trends, policy path, and broader economic conditions, even a single-tenth change can matter to readers following the data.
The main price-moving event is the BLS release itself, which will settle the contract as soon as the May 2026 core CPI figure is published. In the days before that, the market can shift on anticipation of the report and on broad inflation expectations, but the decisive input is the official one-month core CPI number, not estimates or commentary.
The current market price implies roughly a 4% chance for the leading outcome, based on live Polymarket pricing. That number is not a prediction from PredictionNinja and it is not a guarantee; it is the current crowd-priced view of the market and can change quickly when new information appears.

View marketReaders should verify the exact BLS news release for May 2026 and the reported one-month percent change for core CPI-U, since the market resolves from that source alone. The wording matters: this is a seasonally adjusted monthly change, excludes food and energy, and rounds to one decimal place, so a reported 0.45% would still be treated according to BLS rounding rules. If the scheduled report is delayed, the market can remain open until the next CPI release window, so the official release calendar is the source of truth.

This market is currently listed with an end date of Jun 10, 2026. Market timelines can change if the underlying event is postponed, rescheduled, or resolved early.
This is a market about the one-month percent change in the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers excluding food and energy (Core CPI-U) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This market will resolve to the one-month percent change in the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers excluding food and energy (Core CPI-U) in May 2026 according to the monthly BLS report. The resolution source for this market will be the BLS Consumer Price Index report released for May 2026 (https://www.bls.gov/bls/news-release/cpi.htm), currently scheduled to be released on June 10, 2026, at 8:30 AM ET. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data. Note: the resolution source for this market will be the official monthly BLS CPI news release, which reports one month percent change in core inflation (all items less food and energy) to only one decimal point (e.g., 0.3%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. If the BLS does not release the relevant figures on the scheduled date, this market may remain open up until the scheduled release time of the next CPI report (https://www.bls.gov/schedule). If the information is not released by that time, this market will resolve according to the figures of the most recent previous month with available data.
