Recent Tokyo and national core-core CPI readings, which exclude fresh food and energy, have edged up to around 2.0% year-over-year in August 2026, reflecting broadening pass-through from wage gains, yen depreciation, and Middle East-related energy costs, though still tempered by government subsidies. Trader consensus pricing 2.0-2.4% as the leading outcome for the 2026 full-year figure aligns with Bank of Japan projections of underlying inflation gradually approaching or exceeding 2%, supported by sustained labor market tightness and corporate price-setting behavior. The ≤1.9% bucket retains notable implied probability amid base effects and policy measures, while probabilities above 2.5% remain minimal. The September 17-18 FOMC-equivalent BOJ policy meeting represents a key near-term catalyst that could influence rate expectations and inflation trajectories.

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.
