According to CNBC, traders on the prediction market platform Kalshi believe that inflation may have peaked in 2026, but will not fall significantly in the short term. Traders expect core inflation (excluding food and energy prices) to stabilize at 2.4% in September, but see only a 6% chance of it falling below 2.2% this year. They also expect the September Consumer Price Index (CPI), to be released at 8:30 AM ET on Wednesday, to show a 3.6% year-over-year increase.
