Recent monthly Japan core-core CPI readings have eased to 1.7-1.9% YoY through July 2026 from 2025 peaks above 3%, reflecting base effects, government subsidies, and fading food-price pressures, while Tokyo data accelerated modestly to 2.0% in August. The Bank of Japan projects underlying inflation, excluding temporary factors, to stabilize near its 2% target through fiscal 2026 amid wage-price pass-through, yen depreciation, and crude-oil risks tied to Middle East developments. These dynamics underpin trader consensus around the 2.0-2.4% annual outcome, with the closely contested ≤1.9% bracket reflecting uncertainty over demand resilience and the pace of monetary tightening ahead of the September FOMC-equivalent BoJ meeting and year-end wage data.

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.
