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.Recent cooling in South African inflation, with headline CPI falling to 4.3% in July from 5% in June and producer prices easing more than expected, has tempered but not eliminated upside risks from elevated oil prices tied to Middle East tensions. This supports the market-implied 50.5% probability of a 25-basis-point hike at the September 23 meeting, as the SARB maintains its focus on anchoring expectations around the 3% target amid still-rising core inflation near 4.2%. Weak GDP growth near 1.2% for 2026 and a 4-2 hold vote in July underpin the 40.5% chance of no change, while the modest 30.5% odds of a cut reflect limited room given restrictive policy at 7% and external volatility. Traders are pricing in the September data releases and any rand movements as key swing factors ahead of the MPC decision.
