This market asks whether U.S. inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index, will exceed 4.5% at any point in 2026 on the official year-over-year BLS reading. It is worth watching because the answer depends on how monthly inflation prints evolve across the year, and the market can flip if a single monthly report crosses the threshold.
The question is tied to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly CPI releases for 2026. It resolves Yes if any 12-month CPI figure ending in a 2026 month is greater than 4.5%, and No if none of the 2026 monthly reports clear that level. The key cutoff is the BLS’s published one-decimal-place inflation rate, and the market cannot resolve No until the December 2026 CPI report is released.
The uncertainty here is not about whether inflation is measured, but about where the monthly BLS figures will land over the course of 2026. Readers care because a move above 4.5% would signal a materially hotter inflation backdrop than many baseline expectations, with implications for consumer prices, Federal Reserve policy expectations, and broader macro sentiment. The market is effectively pricing disagreement over whether inflation will stay moderate or re-accelerate enough to breach that line.
The biggest movers are the monthly CPI reports themselves, especially any surprise in headline inflation or categories that tend to feed into the year-over-year figure. Energy prices, shelter costs, food inflation, and broad service-price changes can all shift the 12-month rate enough to change the odds of a reading above 4.5%. Because the market resolves on the official BLS release, even a single monthly print that pushes the year-over-year number over the threshold could materially change pricing.
The current market price implies roughly a 61% 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 marketThe source of truth is the official BLS CPI news release for each month in 2026, not private estimates or secondary summaries. Readers should check the reported 12-month CPI change to one decimal place, since that is the precision used for resolution, and confirm whether any month in 2026 exceeds 4.5%. Also note the timing rule: the market cannot resolve No until the December 2026 report appears, and if that report is delayed past January 31, 2027, the market resolves from the figures already made public by BLS.

This market is currently listed with an end date of Dec 31, 2026. Market timelines can change if the underlying event is postponed, rescheduled, or resolved early.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by greater than the listed percent over the 12 month period ending with any month in 2026 according to the monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market will be the BLS Consumer Price Index reports released for each month of 2026 (https://www.bls.gov/bls/news-release/cpi.htm). Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data. This market may not resolve to "No" until the December 2026 report is issued. Once the December 2026 report is issued, any revisions to previously released CPI figures will not be counted toward this market's resolution. If the CPI report for December 2026 is not issued by January 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve based on CPI figures which have already been made available by the BLS. Note: the resolution source for this market will be the official monthly BLS CPI news release which reports inflation over 12 month periods to only one decimal point (e.g. 2.9%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
