This is a market about the variation of consumer prices in South Korea in the 12-month period ending December 2026, as reported by the South Korean Ministry of Data and Statistics (MODS). This market will resolve according to the percentage change in South Korea’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the 12-month period ending December 2026 (December CPI % change compared to the same month of the previous year), according to the monthly MODS Consumer Price Survey report for the specified month. The resolution source for this market will be the MODS Consumer Price Index monthly report released for December 2026, currently scheduled to be released on December 31, 2026. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data. If no data for the specified month is released by the date the next month's data is scheduled to be released, this market will resolve based on data from the last available month. The relevant report will be made available upon release at: https://mods.go.kr/board.es?mid=a20109020000&bid=11751&eng_board_type=01 Note: This market’s resolution source reports percentage change in the South Korean Consumer Price Index to only one decimal point (e.g. 2.0%). Thus this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving this market. For the full release schedule, see: https://mods.go.kr/schdl.es?mid=a20301000000Recent August CPI data showing a rebound to 3.1% year-over-year, driven by base effects from prior telecom discounts and elevated core inflation at 3.4%, has lifted trader-implied odds for a 3.0%+ full-year 2026 average. Persistent service price pressures, higher petroleum costs, and demand-side factors amid economic recovery have offset government fuel caps and fiscal measures, keeping underlying inflation above the Bank of Korea’s 2% target since March. With the BOK delivering back-to-back 25-basis-point hikes to 2.75% and signaling vigilance, market pricing balances these upside risks against expectations for moderation in coming months. Key catalysts include the September CPI release and further monetary policy decisions that could influence the annual average path.
