Description

This market will resolve according to the change in basis points in the base rate resulting from the August 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 August 2026 meeting, scheduled for August 27, 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 August 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 decision in August market resolves on Aug 26, 2026. Resolution is determined by the official announcement and policy decision made by the Bank of Korea during its August monetary policy meeting. The outcome will reflect whether the central bank raises rates, holds steady, cuts rates, or takes other specified policy actions. Traders should monitor the Bank of Korea's official communications and press releases on the resolution date to confirm the final outcome. Market resolution occurs shortly after the official announcement is confirmed.

Several catalysts could shift odds for the Bank of Korea August decision. Domestic inflation data, employment reports, and GDP growth figures will influence rate expectations. Global economic conditions, including US Federal Reserve policy, currency movements, and international trade dynamics, also matter significantly. Bank of Korea communications, forward guidance, and speeches by officials can signal policy intent. Geopolitical developments, commodity price shocks, and financial stability concerns may prompt unexpected shifts. Additionally, any revisions to growth or inflation forecasts by the central bank or major institutions could trigger sharp repricing as traders reassess the probability of action.
