The Statement on Monetary Policy for the Bank of Japan's Monetary Policy meeting for October is scheduled to be released on October 30, 2026 (https://www.boj.or.jp/en/mopo/mpmsche_minu/index.htm). 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.The Bank of Japan's July 2026 decision to hold the policy rate at its post-June peak of 1.00%—its highest since 1995—while slightly raising the fiscal 2026 growth forecast to 0.6% has anchored trader expectations for a 25-basis-point hike in October. Persistent upside risks to core inflation, driven by yen weakness and AI-related demand pressures, have reinforced the BoJ's forward guidance on further normalization, with analysts citing potential overshoots above the 2% target. Recent communications emphasize accommodative financial conditions and vigilance against price spikes, supporting the 66.5% implied probability for a modest tightening versus 34.5% for no change. Key near-term catalysts include August CPI data and September policy signals that could refine the rate path.
