The South African Reserve Bank's May 28 decision to raise the repo rate 25 basis points to 7%—its first hike since 2023—following April CPI jumping to 4.0% from 3.1% in March, driven largely by fuel prices amid Middle East tensions, has positioned a further 25 bps increase as the leading July 23 outcome at 65% implied probability. The central bank's Quarterly Projection Model and comments from officials highlight upside inflation risks and potential second-round effects, reinforcing trader consensus around additional tightening to anchor expectations near the 3% target midpoint. Recent rand strength and softer global commodity trends provide some counterbalance, yet the market assigns lower odds to deeper moves or cuts given the pre-emptive policy stance and next CPI release on June 17.

The resolution source will be official information from the South African Reserve Bank's Monetary Policy Committee, including the statement or release from its July 2026 meeting, scheduled for July 23, 2026, as listed on the official South African Reserve Bank calendar (https://www.resbank.co.za/en/home/calendar).
This market may resolve as soon as the statement or release of the South African Reserve Bank's Monetary Policy Committee resulting from its July 2026 meeting with relevant data is issued.
If the specified rate is defined by an upper and lower bound, the relevant change will be the change to the upper bound.
If the specified rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded according to the following guidelines. Increases or decreases of less than 25 bps will be rounded to 25 bps (e.g. an increase or decrease of 10 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 25 bps). Increases or decreases of greater than 25 bps will be rounded to the nearest 25 bps and will be rounded away from 0 in cases of equidistance (e.g., an increase or decrease of 37.5 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 50 bps). Displayed options of "Hike" or "Cut" will include policy rate increases or decreases of any size.
If the specified meeting is postponed to a date and time before the start of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve based on the outcome of that postponed meeting.
If the specified meeting is cancelled, or postponed such that no decision is announced by the start of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No Change" bracket. Emergency changes to the specified rate not resulting from the specified meeting will not be considered.
