The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases September’s Consumer Price Index at 8:30 a.m. ET on October 14, the inflation print the Fed sees before its October 28 decision. On 20 September 2026 Kalshi put headline CPI above 3.4% at 93% and above 3.6% at 46%, so the market was centred on a 3.5–3.6% year-over-year rate.

The BLS Employment Situation report for December 2026, out at 8:30 a.m. ET on January 8, 2027, fixes the unemployment rate the year closes on. On 20 September 2026 Kalshi had U-3 above 4.0% at 81% but only 5% above 5.0%, so traders expected a labour market that has loosened without cracking.
