Guess tomorrow's US CPI inflation print, the user with the closest guess gets 1,000 sats.
The relevant number is the unadjusted US CPI over the 12-month period ended June 2022.
Tiebreaker: If multiple users make the same overall CPI guess, the energy CPI print will be a tiebreaker.
Last month's data showed an 8.6% overall CPI print, and a 34.6% Energy CPI print.
One comment per user, and comments must be in before 8:20am ET on July 13.

Example:
Overall CPI: X.X% Energy CPI (Tiebreaker): XX.X%
Overall: 9.1% Energy: 38.9%

Overall CPI: 8.3% Energy CPI: 27% (I'm predicting they are going come in "under expectations", so the Fed is in a better position to pivot back to QE and lowering rates, in the next few months)
