Bank of Korea decision in July?

Prediction market odds on Polymarket reflect aggregated trader expectations about a Bank of Korea rate cut in July, often diverging from published analyst consensus.

Comparing the current 100.0% chance of a rate decrease to recent economist surveys or central bank guidance can reveal whether traders are pricing in more or less hawkishness than the consensus view. This gap often signals where market participants see asymmetric information or disagreement with mainstream forecasts.
