Kalshi ladder

record: CMSIG2026110701 | category: momentum-repricing | target: CM-EVT-T57DHL6V48 | published: 2026-11-07

4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi ladder puts 71% odds on CPI at or below -0.1% threshold, implying market-consensus monthly gain near 0.0-0.1%.
Bloomberg reporting of an October cooldown is broadly consistent with the ladder distribution, which assigns only 8% above 0.3%.
The sharp drop-off in probability above 0.2% suggests the market is not pricing any re-acceleration surprise.
September PCE accelerated to 3.6% per separate reporting; the CPI ladder's soft read sets up a potential cross-index divergence to watch at resolution.
