Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a razor-thin 54% implied probability for no change in the Bank of Japan's policy rate at its June 2026 meeting, narrowly ahead of a 47% chance for a 25 basis points increase to 1.00%, reflecting the April 27-28 board's hawkish 6-3 split where three members pushed for an immediate hike amid upgraded core CPI forecasts to 2.8% for fiscal 2026 from 1.9%. This sentiment shift stems from sustained shunto wage growth exceeding 5% and upside inflation risks, tempered by downgraded GDP growth to 0.5%, Middle East geopolitical tensions from the Iran conflict, and March core inflation dipping below the 2% target. Key swing factors include May CPI data, yen volatility around USD/JPY levels, and Governor Ueda's upcoming speeches, with resolution hinging on whether risks subside ahead of the mid-June decision.

This market will resolve to the amount of basis points the upper bound of the short-term policy interest rate is changed by versus the level it was prior to the Bank of Japan's June 2026 meeting.
If the short-term policy interest rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded up to the nearest 25 and will resolve to the relevant bracket. (e.g. if there's a cut/increase of 12.5 bps it will be considered to be 25 bps)
The primary resolution source for this market will be the official website of the Bank of Japan (https://www.boj.or.jp/en/mopo/mpmsche_minu/index.htm), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
This market may resolve as soon as the Bank of Japan's statement for the specified meeting with relevant data is issued. If no statement is released by the end date of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No change" bracket.
