South African Reserve Bank policymakers face mounting upside risks to inflation from elevated energy prices triggered by Middle East geopolitical tensions, which have shifted market-implied odds heavily toward a 25-basis-point repo rate hike at the May 28, 2026 Monetary Policy Committee meeting. With the benchmark rate steady at 6.75% since the March pause and February inflation printing exactly at the 3% target, recent forecasts now project headline inflation accelerating toward 4% in the second quarter amid fuel costs exceeding 18%. Analyst revisions from firms like Goldman Sachs reflect this trajectory, contrasting sharply with earlier expectations for cuts, while the SARB has signaled it will keep options open without pre-committing to any path. Traders are pricing in the central bank’s data-dependent approach ahead of the upcoming decision and subsequent July meeting.
