Polymarket traders price an 78% implied probability of a Bank of Russia key rate decrease at its June 19, 2026, meeting, driven by the central bank's April 24 decision to cut by 50 basis points to 14.5%—its eighth consecutive reduction—as inflation moderates toward the 4% target, with March annual CPI steady at 5.9% and early April readings dipping to 5.77%. Subdued domestic demand aligns supply capacity, supporting the retained 0.5-1.5% GDP growth forecast for 2026, though the bank narrowed its average key rate projection through year-end to 14-14.5% from 13.5-14.5%, reflecting balanced risks from wage growth and external pressures. The May 7 meeting and intervening inflation data will shape final positioning, with no-change at 21.5% and hikes at 2.4% indicating consensus easing bias.
