Core PCE cools to 3.3% or lower

June core PCE eases from May's 3.4% to 3.3% year over year or less. Inflation stays above target, but it does not reaccelerate.

The frozen forecast

The crowd gives the ≤3.3% bucket about 77%. June CPI cooled sharply, while the Fed's own report still flags elevated core PCE and upside energy risk.

This is the immutable published call. It is not silently relabeled as a narrative-only, model-only, or market-only estimate.

Plain-language decision summary

Why it matters and what to watch

The probability is a frozen forecast, not a promise. The watchlist is conditional: it shows the assets most likely to react if the claim resolves as written.

Now what?

A 3.3% or lower print calms the immediate inflation impulse; 3.4% or higher puts the hike debate straight back on screen.

When we will know

Resolved Jul 30, 2026: the call was right.

Atomic claim and resolver

registered

TRUE if BEA reports June 2026 core PCE inflation at 3.3% year over year or lower, using the one-decimal figure in the Personal Income and Outlays release; FALSE at 3.4% or higher.

Resolver: Did BEA report June 2026 core PCE inflation at 3.3% year over year or lower in the July 30, 2026 Personal Income and Outlays release?

Claim-to-span citations added after the lock

Narrative agreement

Abstained
2 verified retrospective spans; 0 admitted before the forecast lock.

No passage-level agreement score is substituted from later evidence, headlines, source counts, market prices, or the published call.

The current source spans were frozen after the forecast lock, so they are published as retrospective citations but cannot influence or score the original decision. No narrative probability is inferred.

5 sensitivity points; none promoted as a learned production estimate.

production scalar withheld; alpha is sensitivity only until matched, prequential model-versus-market resolutions pass the registered gate

Where the estimates diverge

no robust edge ranges overlap

Model and market remain separate. Overlap is an abstain/no-robust-edge state, not permission to average the two.

Latest frozen market comparison: 1.5 probability points; edge status: withheld shared input and unverified costs.
