Trader consensus on the Bank of Korea's October decision reflects the central bank's recent back-to-back 25 basis point hikes to 3.00 percent in July and August, which addressed persistent inflation above the 2 percent target and strong 2026 GDP growth revised upward to 3.3 percent amid the semiconductor boom. With the policy rate now at its highest level since early 2025 and the board's dot plot pointing to a gradual path toward 3.25 percent by year-end, market-implied odds favor no change at 69.5 percent. Incoming August and September inflation prints, along with Q2 GDP data, will shape expectations ahead of the October meeting, though analysts highlight the BOK's data-dependent stance and preference for measured tightening over accelerated moves.

This market will resolve according to the change in basis points in the base rate resulting from the October 2026 meeting of the Bank of Korea's Monetary Policy Board, relative to the level it was prior to this meeting.
The resolution source will be official information from the Bank of Korea's Monetary Policy Board, including the statement or release from its October 2026 meeting, scheduled for October 22, 2026, as listed on the official Bank of Korea calendar (https://www.bok.or.kr/eng/bbs/E0000627/view.do?nttId=10094301&searchCnd=1&searchKwd=&depth2=400417&depth3=400022&depth=400022&pageUnit=10&pageIndex=1&programType=newsDataEng&menuNo=400022&oldMenuNo=400022). This market may resolve as soon as the statement or release of the Bank of Korea's Monetary Policy Board resulting from its October 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.Trader consensus on the Bank of Korea's October decision reflects the central bank's recent back-to-back 25 basis point hikes to 3.00 percent in July and August, which addressed persistent inflation above the 2 percent target and strong 2026 GDP growth revised upward to 3.3 percent amid the semiconductor boom.
