Recent moderation in Japan's core-core CPI, which excludes fresh food and energy, to 1.7% YoY in June 2026 from 1.8% in May has tightened the contest between the 2.0-2.4% and ≤1.9% ranges, reflecting subsidy-driven energy relief and softer food costs that have pulled underlying readings below the Bank of Japan's 2% target for several months. Trader positioning remains split as the BOJ continues to highlight upside risks from yen depreciation, sustained wage gains, and corporate cost pass-through, even after trimming its fiscal 2026 core inflation projection. Key swing factors include the pace of energy subsidy phase-outs, crude oil price movements, and upcoming BOJ Outlook reports that could signal shifts in the expected rate path. With probabilities nearly even, resolution hinges on whether domestic demand-driven pressures reassert themselves or further disinflation takes hold through year-end.

The resolution source for this market will be the SBJ Consumer Price Index Annual Report released for 2026 (https://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/cpi/1588.html#nen), currently scheduled to be released on January 22, 2027. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data.
Note: the resolution source for this market will be the official SBJ Consumer Price Index Annual Report, which reports percentage change in the Consumer Price Index over 12-month periods to only one decimal point (e.g., 2.8%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. For the avoidance of doubt, this market resolves on the core-core CPI figure — the all items index excluding fresh food and energy — not the headline all items CPI figure.
If the SBJ does not release the relevant figures on the scheduled date, this market may remain open up until March 31, 2027. If the information is not released by that time, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket.
