Will CPI Core rise more than 0.2% in October?

How this settles

Resolves YES if the seasonally adjusted BLS Core CPI (All Urban Consumers, All Items less Food and Energy) for October 2026 rises by MORE THAN 0.2% (strictly above, not equal to).

• Strictly above 0.2%, not at or above — The rules say 'above 0.2%,' so an exact +0.2% print (a common rounded outcome) resolves NO, which could catch traders who assume ≥0.2% triggers YES.
• Seasonally adjusted print only — BLS publishes both seasonally adjusted and unadjusted Core CPI figures; only the seasonally adjusted series is specified, and the two can differ enough to flip the outcome.
• No revision language — initial vs. revised print unclear — BLS sometimes revises CPI figures; the rules don't specify whether the first release or a later revision governs, creating settlement ambiguity if a revision crosses the 0.2% threshold.
• October 2026, not October 2025 — The resolution year is 2026 (reported ~November 2026), so traders focused on the near-term October 2025 release are tracking the wrong data point entirely.
