Based on: Historical Cycle
Eurostat published the June 2026 flash CPI on July 1, 2026: 2.8% YoY (down from 3.2% in May). Energy remains the key driver at +8.7%. The Strait of Hormuz crisis (Brent +5% weekly from July) is likely to keep the energy component elevated in July rather than letting it fall further. Energy CPI responds with a 4–6 week lag to crude oil moves. Services inflation was 3.2% in June, expected to decline gradually. A further drop below 2.5% in July appears unlikely. The ECB hiked to 2.25% in June 2026 — a further signal of persistent inflation. No Polymarket market found.

Verdict: Hit
Eurostat veröffentlichte am 31. Juli 2026 den Flash-VPI für Juli 2026: 2,9 % YoY – deutlich über der Schwelle von 2,5 %. Die Jahresinflation stieg sogar von 2,8 % (Juni) auf 2,9 % an, getrieben vor allem von der Energiekomponente (+10,0 % nach +8,5 % im Juni), was die Prognose über den Hormuz-Effekt auf Energie bestätigt. Auch die Dienstleistungsinflation stieg leicht auf 3,3 %.

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end. A year-end close above $100,000 (not just a touch) is more demanding: median year-end contract estimates imply ~$81,000. Arguments for >$100k close: historical Q4 seasonality (+49% in Q4 2024, +56% in Q4 2023), ETF inflows, institutional demand. Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
