The Bank of Japan’s April 2026 policy meeting and subsequent summary of opinions have anchored trader expectations for a 25-basis-point rate increase to 1.0% at the June 15-16 decision, with the central bank raising its core inflation forecast to 2.8% for fiscal 2026 amid elevated crude oil prices linked to Middle East tensions. The 6-3 vote to hold rates at 0.75% featured three dissents favoring an immediate hike, while recent Reuters polling shows 65% of economists projecting the move by end-June on the back of persistent wage-price pass-through and a tight labor market. Market-implied odds reflect this hawkish tilt, tempered by the BoJ’s trimmed growth outlook to 0.5% for the fiscal year and ongoing uncertainty over external demand.

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.
