This market will resolve according to the change in basis points in the base rate resulting from the October 2026 meeting of the Bank of Korea's Monetary Policy Board, relative to the level it was prior to this meeting. The resolution source will be official information from the Bank of Korea's Monetary Policy Board, including the statement or release from its October 2026 meeting, scheduled for October 22, 2026, as listed on the official Bank of Korea calendar (https://www.bok.or.kr/eng/bbs/E0000627/view.do?nttId=10094301&searchCnd=1&searchKwd=&depth2=400417&depth3=400022&depth=400022&pageUnit=10&pageIndex=1&programType=newsDataEng&menuNo=400022&oldMenuNo=400022). This market may resolve as soon as the statement or release of the Bank of Korea's Monetary Policy Board resulting from its October 2026 meeting with relevant data is issued. If the specified rate is defined by an upper and lower bound, the relevant change will be the change to the upper bound. If the specified rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded according to the following guidelines. Increases or decreases of less than 25 bps will be rounded to 25 bps (e.g. an increase or decrease of 10 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 25 bps). Increases or decreases of greater than 25 bps will be rounded to the nearest 25 bps and will be rounded away from 0 in cases of equidistance (e.g., an increase or decrease of 37.5 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 50 bps). Displayed options of "Increase" or "Decrease" will include policy rate increases or decreases of any size.The Bank of Korea's August 27 decision to hike its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 3.00%—its second consecutive increase—combined with Governor Shin Hyun-song's emphasis on a gradual pace of tightening has anchored market-implied odds at 70.5% for no change at the October meeting. Stronger-than-expected semiconductor-driven growth prompted an upward revision to the 2026 GDP forecast to 3.3%, while core inflation rose to 2.6% in July and headline CPI reached 3.1% in August amid one-off factors and elevated energy prices. The updated dot plot showed a median projection of 3.25% within six months, yet the non-unanimous vote and explicit commitment to review August-September inflation and Q2 nominal GDP data before October have tempered expectations for an immediate follow-up move. Traders are pricing in a data-dependent pause to assess the effects of recent tightening against persistent above-target inflation and financial stability risks.
