Persistent upside risks to South Africa’s inflation outlook, driven by elevated global energy prices from the Middle East conflict that began in February 2026, have shifted trader expectations toward a 25-basis-point hike in the South African Reserve Bank’s policy rate at the May 28 meeting. Headline inflation, which stood at 3.0% in February, is now projected to rise toward 4% in the second quarter as fuel costs exceed 18%, prompting analysts at Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas to revise their forecasts upward. Forward-rate agreements currently price in this tightening, consistent with the 86.9% implied probability for an increase, while the MPC’s March statement signaled a more restrictive stance and delayed earlier cut expectations. The outcome remains data-dependent, with evidence of second-round effects in core inflation serving as the primary swing factor.
