Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 75% implied probability for no change in the Bank of Japan's policy rate at the April 27-28 meeting, reflecting caution amid softer March Tokyo core CPI rising 1.7% year-over-year—below the 1.8% forecast—and escalating Middle East tensions driving oil spikes that cloud the inflation-growth balance. Governor Ueda's April 9 remarks emphasized persistently accommodative financial conditions despite elevated 10-year JGB yields near record highs, tempering aggressive hike bets. A 22% chance of a 25 basis point increase to 1.00% stems from underlying wage pressures and USD/JPY hovering near 160, prompting intervention threats over immediate tightening, with yen weakness as a key swing factor ahead of resolution.

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 April 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.
