Japan's core-core CPI (excluding fresh food and energy) rose to 1.9% year-over-year in July 2026 from 1.7% in June, with the Bank of Japan's special-factors-adjusted measure reaching 2.3%, underscoring persistent underlying price pressures from wage pass-through, yen depreciation, and AI-related semiconductor demand. Market-implied odds heavily favor the 2.0-2.4% range for 2026 as trader consensus aligns with the BoJ's July outlook projecting core measures around 2.5% for fiscal 2026 before moderating toward the 2% target, tempered by government energy subsidies and fading crude oil effects. Recent July data and the central bank's upward revision to growth forecasts reinforce this band, while the next CPI release on September 17 could influence positioning ahead of potential further policy normalization.

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.
