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 July inflation data cooling to 4.3% year-over-year, below consensus, has narrowed the gap between no-change and hike probabilities by easing near-term price pressures from fuel and food. The South African Reserve Bank held the repo rate at 7% in July after the May 25-basis-point increase, with a 4-2 MPC split underscoring divided views on whether the stance remains sufficiently restrictive amid the new 3% inflation target. Persistent upside risks from geopolitical oil shocks, core inflation near 4.2%, and wage expectations support the 47% implied probability of a September hike, while subdued GDP growth around 1.2% and the bank's Quarterly Projection Model favoring stability tilt toward the 48.5% no-change outcome. August CPI, due alongside the September 23 decision, and rand movements remain key swing factors.
