**Elevated oil prices stemming from Middle East conflict and the Federal Reserve’s recent 25-basis-point rate increase have driven market-implied odds for a South African Reserve Bank hike to 89 percent ahead of the September 23 decision.** With the repo rate already at 7 percent following the May tightening, analysts at Morgan Stanley and Bank of America now expect a further 25-basis-point move to 7.25 percent, citing risks that persistent energy costs could delay inflation’s return to the 3 percent target and pressure the rand via narrower interest-rate differentials. July headline inflation eased to 4.3 percent year-on-year, and forward-rate agreements reflect near-certainty of tightening this year, though August data due the same day and domestic growth weakness introduce modest uncertainty around the exact timing.
