South African CPI inflation moderated to 3.1% year-over-year in March 2026 from 3.0% in February, aligning with market expectations and remaining near the South African Reserve Bank’s 3% target midpoint within the 2-4% tolerance band. Trader sentiment on the 2026 annual average reflects this stability alongside upside risks from fuel pass-through after Middle East tensions, administered electricity and utility price adjustments, and rand volatility that could transmit into food and import costs later in the year. With leading outcome probabilities clustered tightly between 39% and 42% across the 2.9-3.2%, 4.1-4.4%, and above-5.0% brackets, the market prices in a balanced contest between continued disinflation and potential reacceleration driven by global commodity shocks. The next CPI release on 20 May and SARB monetary policy updates will likely influence positioning ahead of full-year resolution.
