Will inflation be 0.5% or more from September to October 2021?
This is a market on a month-to-month inflation, as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (CPI-U), from September to October 2021. The inflation is measured by a change in Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) on a seasonally adjusted basis, reported by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the index increased by 0.5 percent or more (i.e. fifty-hundredths of 1%) from September 2021 to October 2021 and "No" otherwise. The resolution source for this market will be the BLS October 2021 Consumer Price Index report (https://www.bls.gov/bls/news-release/cpi.htm), currently scheduled for release on November 10, 2021, 8:30 AM ET. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data. ------------------------- The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. Note that the resolution source for this market will be the official monthly BLS CPI news release which reports seasonally-adjusted month-to-month inflation to only one decimal point (e.g. 0.6%, 0.5%, etc). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market (e.g. if seasonally adjusted month-to-month CPI-U is 0.3%, the market will resolve to “No”, if it is 0.5%, this market will resolve to “Yes”).
