Will US final-demand PPI rise at least 0.3% in September 2026?
The BLS calendar schedules September PPI for 15 October. Forecast the first published seasonally adjusted monthly final-demand change.
YES if the first September 2026 BLS PPI release reports seasonally adjusted final-demand monthly change >=0.3%. Lower is NO. Later revisions do not count. Resolve by 22 Oct 2026; VOID if no verifiable release by then.

- Keep monthly, annual, seasonally adjusted and unadjusted figures separate.
Hypothetical outcomes

NO: The official measure fails to cross the threshold within the allowed period.
