Persistent supply constraints from the U.S. cattle herd’s 75-year low of 86.2 million head in January 2026, driven by drought and elevated feed costs, continue to support elevated ground beef prices amid robust consumer demand. Retail averages reached $6.70 per pound by March, up 12% year-over-year, as the USDA revised 2026 beef production lower to 25.79 billion pounds and projected a 10.1% price increase for the year. Wholesale boxed-beef cutouts remain firm near $350 per hundredweight, with lean-trim imports providing limited offset for blending needs. Mid-May BLS April CPI data and the July cattle inventory report represent near-term catalysts that could influence whether prices breach higher thresholds through summer.

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.
