Recent Q2 2026 GDP data showing only 0.3% quarter-on-quarter growth—below the 0.5% consensus and translating to roughly 1.1% annualized—has anchored trader expectations for Q3, with domestic demand subtracting from output amid flat consumption and weaker capital expenditure. Persistent cost pressures from Middle East-related energy prices, alongside subdued business sentiment, weigh on the outlook and support elevated probabilities across both the 0.8–2.4% and negative growth bands. Offsetting factors include resilient exports, a tight labor market with 2.5% unemployment, and improving real wages that could stabilize household spending. Bank of Japan communications signal gradual policy normalization while acknowledging upside inflation risks, leaving market-implied odds closely contested ahead of the Q3 release as traders weigh these crosscurrents.

The relevant figure may be found in the summary document, in table 1-1 'Quarterly Real Growth Rate (Seasonally Adjusted Series, Quarter-to-Quarter)' — this figure expresses the quarterly growth rate compounded over four quarters to produce an annualized equivalent. Changes in the Japan Cabinet Office's GDP reporting format will not disqualify a published figure from counting.
The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.esri.cao.go.jp/en/sna/sokuhou/sokuhou_top.html
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
If no data for the specified quarter is released by the date the next quarter's data is scheduled to be released, this market will resolve based on data from the last available quarter.
Note: the resolution source for this market reports Quarter-over-Quarter Annualized GDP growth rates to only one decimal point (e.g. 2.1%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Note: data from the initial release of the referenced GDP report is what will be used to resolve this market. Data may be revised during the following quarter or as a part of the next estimate's publication, however any revisions to GDP report data made after the initial release will not be considered for this market's resolution. For the full release schedule, see: https://www.esri.cao.go.jp/en/sna/kouhyou/kouhyou_top.html
