Recent monthly core-core CPI readings (excluding fresh food and energy) have hovered between 1.7% and 1.9% through July 2026, with Tokyo data reaching 2.0% in August, reflecting the impact of government energy subsidies and favorable base effects that have tempered pass-through from elevated crude oil prices tied to Middle East tensions. Wholesale price pressures remain elevated, with the producer price index up over 7% year-over-year in recent prints, while wage-to-price pass-through and yen depreciation continue to support underlying inflation momentum. The Bank of Japan’s July 2026 Outlook projects core CPI (ex fresh food) accelerating clearly above 2% in the second half of fiscal 2026 before moderating toward the 2% target, consistent with trader-implied odds that place the highest probability on a full-year 2026 core-core outcome in the 2.0-2.4% range. The September 17-18 policy meeting and upcoming national CPI releases represent key near-term catalysts that could influence sentiment around these brackets.

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.
