This market will resolve to the percentage change in the Japanese Consumer Price Index excluding fresh food (All items less fresh food, change from the previous year (%)) between 2025 and 2026 according to the Consumer Price Index Annual Report by the Statistics Bureau of Japan (SBJ). 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 CPI figure — the all items index excluding fresh food — 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.Recent monthly Japan core CPI readings (excluding fresh food) have hovered between 1.6% and 1.8% year-over-year through July 2026, with the core-core gauge (also stripping energy) reaching 1.9% amid moderating government fuel subsidies. These figures reflect partial pass-through from elevated crude prices tied to Middle East tensions, offset by base effects and policy measures that have kept headline pressures contained below the Bank of Japan’s 2% target for multiple months. Strong wage growth and BoJ projections for fiscal-2026 core inflation near 2.5% support expectations of gradual firming, yet the close split between the ≤1.9% and 2.0-2.4% brackets highlights uncertainty over the annual average outcome. The August national release and the September 17-18 BoJ policy meeting represent key near-term catalysts that could shift trader-implied odds.
