Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 11 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This market is pricing in a 97% probability that France's preliminary consumer price inflation for April 2026 will exceed 1.9% year-over-year. The high probability reflects confidence that inflation has not fallen below this threshold, likely driven by elevated energy costs, wage pressures, or sticky service-sector inflation across the eurozone. The main downside risk would be if deflationary pressures from energy markets or weak demand pushed actual inflation materially lower. The resolution depends on the official INSEE (French statistical agency) inflation data release, which typically occurs in early May for the prior month's preliminary estimate. Key factors include recent energy price movements, wage negotiation outcomes in France, eurozone-wide monetary policy effects, and comparative inflation trends across EU member states.

Key factors:
- Energy commodity prices in May 2026, as oil and gas costs directly affect headline inflation
- Recent wage agreements and labor cost trends in French services and manufacturing sectors
- Eurozone-wide ECB policy stance and its transmission effects on French price pressures
- Actual INSEE preliminary inflation reading when released, which will definitively resolve the contract
- Comparative inflation data from neighboring eurozone economies that share similar demand and supply dynamics

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

## SF Signal

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
- No SimpleFunctions index / regime / calibration signal is bound to this topic yet — the headline above is market-derived only.
