YES on Will the rate of CPI inflation be above 3.5% for the year ending in July 2026?

Resolves YES iff BLS reports July 12-month CPI above 3.5%, requiring a one-decimal reported value of at least 3.6%. BLS's June 2026 CPI level is 333.952 and its July 2025 base is 323.048; a weak July monthly CPI increase is the principal risk to this base-effect thesis.
