Japan's Q3 2026 GDP growth faces elevated uncertainty after Q2 expanded just 0.3% quarter-over-quarter—below consensus—driven by flat private consumption and weaker capital expenditure amid cost pressures, with net exports providing the main offset. Trader-implied odds remain tightly clustered because forecasters diverge on whether Middle East-related energy price spikes will further erode household purchasing power and business sentiment, or if resilient exports and a still-tight labor market (unemployment steady at 2.5%) can sustain modest positive annualized growth. The Bank of Japan's gradual normalization, with the policy rate at 1% and potential September action, adds another variable by influencing borrowing costs and the yen. Upcoming Q3 flash data and inflation prints will likely determine whether probabilities shift toward contraction or modest expansion ranges.

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
