Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 59% implied probability for no change at the Bank of Japan's June 2026 policy meeting, with a 35% chance of a 25 basis point hike to 1.00%, reflecting mixed signals from recent data amid Middle East conflict risks. The BOJ held its policy rate steady at 0.75% on March 19, citing uncertainty from soaring oil prices that cloud inflation persistence despite February nationwide core CPI easing to 1.6%—below the 2% target for the first time since 2022—offset by robust 5.26% shunto wage hikes announced March 23, the largest in 35 years. Governor Ueda reiterated April 9 that real rates remain deeply negative, keeping financial conditions accommodative. Upcoming April 26-27 meeting and Tokyo CPI releases will be pivotal swing factors.
