U.S. cattle inventories stand at a 75-year low of 86.2 million head as of January 2026 per USDA NASS, down 0.4% year-over-year, severely limiting beef production to a forecasted 25.8 billion pounds amid elevated feed costs and delayed herd rebuilding. This supply constriction has propelled national average retail ground beef prices—tracked via BLS CPI data on FRED—to $6.899 per pound in April 2026, up sharply from prior months. USDA projects 6.3% beef price inflation for the year, fueled by robust demand and wholesale gains of 7.8%. Traders focus on monthly BLS releases (next: May data in June) and WASDE updates for production outlooks, with summer grilling season and feed price volatility as key swing factors through December resolution.

The St. Louis Fed bases its numbers for ground beef prices on the BLS's CPI release. This market will immediately resolve to "Yes" upon a qualifying update of the St. Louis Fed's chart. If no data for any month of 2026 is released by the scheduled date for the January 2027 CPI release, this market will resolve according to the data for 2026 already available at that time.
The resolution source for this market measures prices to the third decimal place. Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
