This market will resolve according to the change in the repo rate resulting from the South African Reserve Bank’s September Monetary Policy Committee meeting, relative to the level it was prior to this meeting. The resolution source for this market is information released by the South African Reserve Bank after its September 23, 2026 policy-setting meeting, as listed on the official South African Reserve Bank meeting schedule: https://www.resbank.co.za/en/home/calendar This market may resolve as soon as the South African Reserve Bank's statement for their September meeting with relevant data is issued. If no decision on the repo rate is issued by the end date of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No change" bracket.Elevated June 2026 CPI at 5.0%, well above the SARB’s 3% target and fueled by transportation and fuel costs, remains the dominant driver tilting trader sentiment toward a 25-basis-point rate hike at the September 23 meeting. The July MPC statement highlighted persistent upside inflation risks and a split vote (four members for a hold at 7%, two favoring tightening), reinforcing the case for further tightening after the May increase while underscoring caution amid subdued growth forecasts. Market-implied odds of 56.5% for an increase reflect skin-in-the-game consensus on these pressures, though upcoming August CPI data and labor metrics could shift the balance before the next policy decision.
