Kalshi ladder

record: CMSIG2026070202 | category: momentum-repricing | target: CM-EVT-FC6YNQPJV4 | published: 2026-07-02

4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi ladder prices 75% on CPI above 3.7% and 25% above 3.8%, implying a modal range of 3.70-3.80% for the year ending June 2026.
News framing a stagflation scenario is consistent with the market holding above 3.7% with only a thin tail pricing 3.80% or higher.
August 2026 CPI ladder (CM-EVT-D057W6W251) implies 0.10-0.20% monthly gain, suggesting markets see inflation easing only gradually.
Resolves via the Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI release for the 12-month period ending June 2026.
