Polymarket traders, wagering real capital, price a 75.7% implied probability for a 25 basis points (bps) hike in the Bank of Japan's policy rate at the June 15-16 meeting, driven by resilient wage growth exceeding 5% from 2026 shunto negotiations—the largest in 35 years—and solid April Tankan business sentiment, with large manufacturers' diffusion index rising to 17 despite Middle East tensions. Recent March Tokyo core CPI eased to 1.7% year-over-year amid base effects, yet BOJ-adjusted core measures held above 2%, while 10-year JGB yields climbed to 2.42%, signaling tightening expectations. Governor Ueda's April 17 remarks highlighted low real rates and oil-driven inflation upside risks but avoided April signals ahead of the April 27-28 meeting, tempering no-change odds at 21.5% and keeping larger hikes below 3%.

This market will resolve to the amount of basis points the upper bound of the short-term policy interest rate is changed by versus the level it was prior to the Bank of Japan's June 2026 meeting.
If the short-term policy interest rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded up to the nearest 25 and will resolve to the relevant bracket. (e.g. if there's a cut/increase of 12.5 bps it will be considered to be 25 bps)
The primary resolution source for this market will be the official website of the Bank of Japan (https://www.boj.or.jp/en/mopo/mpmsche_minu/index.htm), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
This market may resolve as soon as the Bank of Japan's statement for the specified meeting with relevant data is issued. If no statement is released by the end date of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No change" bracket.
