The question asks whether Argentina's monthly inflation in September 2026 will be ≤0.9%. The available news articles do not provide any specific inflation data for September 2026, nor do they contain forecasts or projections for that exact month. Article iview.abc.net.au article discusses Argentina's economic policy under President Milei, including managed peso crawl and tariff schedules that affect monthly price dynamics, but offers no numerical inflation target or prediction for September 2026. Article Aljazeera Argentina reports that poverty has risen to 32% under Milei and that economists forecast 'more pain ahead,' implying that disinflation is not yet complete and that inflation may remain elevated. Article Ground article mentions a prediction that Argentina could reach the highest credit rating if Milei is re-elected, which would require sustained low inflation, but this is a long-term outlook and not a specific forecast for September 2026. Articles AP Scientists, AP Lionel, and Aljazeera Tens are unrelated to inflation data. Given the lack of direct evidence, the baseline probability must be informed by Argentina's recent inflation history: monthly inflation has been in the 2-4% range in 2024-2025, and while the government aims to reduce it, reaching ≤0.9% by September 2026 would require a dramatic and sustained decline. The articles suggest ongoing social tensions and austerity, which may slow disinflation. Without any article providing a forecast or data point for September 2026, the probability is low but not negligible, as the government's policies could eventually bring inflation down. I assign a probability of 0.25, reflecting a cautious NO leaning.
