Recent Bank of Japan communications and the June 2026 25 basis point hike to a 1.0% policy rate—its highest since 1995—anchor the 76.5% market-implied probability of no change at the October meeting. July data showed the board holding steady while cutting its FY2026 core inflation forecast to 2.5% amid energy subsidies and noting balanced risks, even as underlying price pressures and yen weakness keep some members hawkish. Traders price a 20.5% chance of a further 25 basis point increase, reflecting Reuters polling and sources that flag possible September or October action if inflation overshoots or currency depreciation accelerates. The October 29-30 meeting follows the September policy decision and fresh CPI releases, leaving room for modest repricing if labor markets or producer prices surprise to the upside.

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 October 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.
