Recent readings show Japan's core-core CPI (excluding fresh food, energy, and special factors) firming toward 2%, with Tokyo's August ex-food-and-energy measure at 2.0% and the BOJ's adjusted July gauge at 2.2%, driven by wage pass-through, yen depreciation, AI-related demand, and lagged effects from Middle East energy pressures despite subsidies. These factors underpin the 60.5% market-implied probability for a 2.0-2.4% 2026 outcome, as underlying inflation converges on the BOJ's 2% target amid ongoing policy normalization. The 39.5% odds on ≤1.9% reflect lingering base effects and subsidy impacts, while sub-1% probabilities for higher bands highlight limited upside risks from further yen weakness or commodity spikes ahead of the September FOMC-adjacent data releases.

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.
