The probability of a hold has moved between 66.5% and 92.0% over recent weeks. It shifted by -3.5 pts in the past day. It now sits at 85.5%. The market resolves based on the statement from the Bank of Israel's Monetary Committee after its August 2026 meeting, scheduled for August 31, 2026. The change in basis points to the upper bound of the policy rate relative to the level before the meeting determines the outcome. If the meeting is postponed but takes place before the next scheduled meeting, the outcome of that postponed meeting will be used. Should the meeting be cancelled or delayed beyond the next scheduled meeting, the market resolves to 'No Change'. The resolution date is Aug 31, 2026, when the Bank of Israel is expected to publish its statement. Any official release from that meeting will trigger resolution once the relevant data is available. Emergency rate changes outside the scheduled meeting are not considered.
