Predicted for 1. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Eurozone inflation rose to 2.9% in July 2026 (from 2.8% in June), driven by energy (+0.94pp), services (+1.55pp), and food. For August, the still-elevated crude oil price (Brent $86–94/barrel due to the US-Iran blockade) should support the energy component. Services inflation also remains stubbornly elevated at +4–5%. The TRIKALA forecasting platform explicitly posed the question of whether the 3.0% threshold would be crossed – market probability ~45–50%. Exceeding 3.0% would put additional pressure on the ECB ahead of its rate decision on September 10.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.

Polymarket shows a 53% probability for a 25 basis point hike as of September 10, 2026. US Core CPI August 2026 (release September 11) is expected by market consensus to be above 3.0% YoY. The ECB raised its deposit rate by 25 bps to 2.50% on September 10, 2026 – an inflation-fighting signal that provides cover for the Fed. Against a hike: a mild slowdown in US industrial output. CME FedWatch also shows ~53% probability for a hike.
