The Bank of Japan's September 17-18 policy meeting carries a 97.8% market-implied probability of a 25 basis point rate increase to 1.25%, driven by Governor Kazuo Ueda's recent signals that the board will debate further tightening amid upside inflation risks from Middle East energy pressures, yen weakness near 160 per dollar, and AI-driven demand. Officials view underlying CPI as approaching the 2% target sustainably, with the June hike to 1% leaving financial conditions accommodative. Recent Reuters and Bloomberg reporting indicates a preference for a measured quarter-point move rather than 50 basis points, consistent with the sub-1% odds on larger adjustments. The meeting itself remains the key near-term catalyst, though last-minute data or communications could still shift positioning.

This market will resolve according to the change in basis points in the uncollateralized overnight call rate resulting from the September 2026 meeting of the Bank of Japan, relative to the level it was prior to this meeting.
The resolution source will be official information from the Bank of Japan, including the statement or release from its September 2026 meeting, scheduled for September 17-18, 2026, as listed on the official Bank of Japan calendar (https://www.boj.or.jp/en/mopo/mpmsche_minu/index.htm). This market may resolve as soon as the statement or release of the Bank of Japan’s September 2026 meeting with relevant data is issued.
If the specified rate is defined by an upper and lower bound, the relevant change will be the change to the upper bound.
If the specified rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded according to the following guidelines. Increases or decreases of less than 25 bps will be rounded to 25 bps (e.g. an increase or decrease of 10 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 25 bps). Increases or decreases of greater than 25 bps will be rounded to the nearest 25 bps and will be rounded away from 0 in cases of equidistance (e.g., an increase or decrease of 37.5 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 50 bps). Displayed options of “Increase” or “Decrease” will include policy rate increases or decreases of any size.
If the specified meeting is postponed to a date and time before the start of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve based on the outcome of that postponed meeting. If the specified meeting is cancelled, or postponed such that no decision is announced by the start of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the “No Change” bracket.
