**Persistent oil price pressures from Middle East supply disruptions have kept headline inflation above the South African Reserve Bank’s 3% target, supporting the market-implied 55.5% probability of a 25-basis-point hike at the September 23 meeting.** Inflation eased to around 4.3-4.5% in July from 5% in June, yet fuel costs remain elevated and recent global oil surges have revived upside risks, as noted in the central bank’s July statement and a September 9 study affirming the target’s resilience. Weak second-quarter GDP growth and high unemployment around 33% argue for holding the 7% repo rate, reflected in the 44.5% no-change odds, while the July 4-2 vote split and downward-revised forecasts underscore caution. Traders are pricing in these competing forces ahead of fresh inflation and labor data.
