Recent June 2026 data placed Japan’s core-core CPI (excluding fresh food and energy) at 1.7% year-over-year, down from earlier 2026 readings near 2.5%, as government energy subsidies offset import cost pressures from elevated oil prices and yen weakness. The Bank of Japan’s fiscal 2026 median forecast of 2.2% for this measure underscores persistent domestic demand and wage-driven price pressures that could support a rebound once subsidies fade. With the leading 2.0-2.4% and ≤1.9% outcomes nearly tied in trader-implied odds, markets are pricing in uncertainty over whether underlying inflation stabilizes near the BOJ’s 2% target or remains subdued through year-end amid volatile energy and currency dynamics. Key upcoming catalysts include further monthly releases and any BOJ policy signals on rate normalization.

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.
