The recent 25 basis point hike by the South African Reserve Bank to a 7% repo rate on May 29, 2026—its first tightening since 2023—has positioned a further 25 basis point increase at the July 23 meeting as the market-implied frontrunner. April CPI rose sharply to 4.0% from 3.1% in March, propelled by record fuel inflation amid Middle East tensions, prompting the SARB to revise its 2026 headline inflation forecast upward to 4.4% while lowering GDP growth projections. This pre-emptive tightening to anchor expectations and mitigate second-round effects has elevated the probability of additional policy restraint, with traders assigning lower weight to cuts or holds given the elevated inflation trajectory and the bank’s alternative scenarios that all signal further tightening. The next inflation print due mid-June will provide key data ahead of the decision.

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.
