Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have driven oil prices higher, pushing the South African Reserve Bank’s inflation outlook above its 3% target and prompting a shift toward monetary tightening. With the repo rate currently at 6.75%, recent MPC communications and revised forecasts now embed expectations for a 25-basis-point hike at the May 28 meeting, reflecting upside risks to headline inflation from fuel costs exceeding 18% in the near term. Market-implied odds of 86.9% for an increase align with this hawkish pivot, as traders price in front-loaded policy responses to contain second-round effects, while a no-change outcome at 11% would require stronger evidence that the oil shock remains transitory.
