Polymarket traders assign a 97.2% implied probability to no change in the Bank of Korea's base rate at its May 28 meeting, reflecting strong consensus around the Monetary Policy Board's cautious, data-dependent stance after seven consecutive holds at 2.50% through April. This positioning persists despite April CPI accelerating to 2.6% year-over-year—its steepest pace in 21 months—fueled by Middle East-driven energy costs, and Deputy Governor Ryoo Sang-dae's May 3 remarks signaling time to consider hikes amid resilient growth and won depreciation to 17-year lows near 1,480 per dollar. Korean 10-year Treasury yields topped 4% on May 12 as hike bets flickered, but trader capital favors stability given balanced inflation risks. Realistic challenges include hotter May CPI or sharper currency weakness prompting an unexpected 25-basis-point increase, though such shifts remain low-odds scenarios ahead of the decision.
