Recent UK CPI data showed August annual inflation rising to 3.1% from 2.9% the prior month, driven primarily by transport costs including motor fuels. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have pushed energy prices higher since the Bank of England’s July Monetary Policy Report, with futures curves now implying a sharper near-term pickup via direct utility bill effects and indirect supply-chain pass-through. Independent forecasters’ September average points to 3.4% for Q4 2026 CPI, while the BoE’s updated assessment anticipates around 3.75% by year-end. Market participants’ modal expectation for end-Q3 2026 sits near 3.2%, aligning with the Polymarket concentration in the 3.1–3.6% bands as traders price in these energy-driven dynamics ahead of the October 21 release.

This market will resolve to the percentage change in the UK Consumer Prices Index (CPI) over the 12-month period ending in September 2026 according to the monthly Office for National Statistics (ONS) report.
The resolution source for this market will be the ONS “Consumer Prices Index, UK” report released for September 2026 (https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices#publications), currently scheduled to be released on October 21, 2026. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data.
Note: this market will resolve only based on the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) figure. The “Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs” (CPIH) will not qualify.
Note: the resolution source for this market will be the official monthly ONS CPI UK news release, which reports inflation over 12-month periods to only one decimal point (e.g., 2.9%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
If the ONS does not release the relevant figures on the scheduled date, this market may remain open up until the scheduled release time of the next CPI report (https://www.ons.gov.uk/releasecalendar). If the information is not released by that time, this market will resolve according to the figures of the most recent previous month with available data.
