The outcome is Yes if it exceeds the value specified in the market question and No otherwise. The value becomes final when BTS publishes that month's data at 10:00 AM CT, typically in the second week of the third month after September 2026, and early resolution does not apply. If BTS delays the release, resolution waits until it is published.
