Will CPI Core rise more than 0.7% in December?

How this settles

Resolves YES if the seasonally adjusted BLS Core CPI (All Urban Consumers, All Items less Food and Energy) for December 2026 shows a month-over-month increase strictly above 0.7%.

• Strict 'above 0.7%' — exactly 0.7% loses — The rule says 'increases by above 0.7%', so a print of exactly 0.7% does NOT resolve YES, making the boundary critical for positions near that level.
• December 2026, not December 2025 — The resolution rules explicitly reference December 2026, so traders assuming a near-term December (2025) print would be holding a much longer-duration position than expected.
• No revision policy specified — initial vs. revised print — The rules don't clarify whether the first BLS release or a subsequent revision governs; if BLS revises the figure above/below 0.7% after initial publication, it's ambiguous which print settles the contract.
• Seasonally adjusted series only — BLS publishes both seasonally adjusted and non-seasonally adjusted Core CPI figures that can differ; only the seasonally adjusted number counts per the rules, so traders must track the correct series.
