Recent fuel price spikes tied to Middle East geopolitical tensions have lifted South Africa's April 2026 headline CPI to 4.0% year-over-year from 3.1% in March, the highest since mid-2024 and a key near-term driver of trader positioning. The South African Reserve Bank’s May 2026 forecast now projects a 4.4% average for the full year amid elevated energy and services components, while the OECD sees 4.2%; these sit above earlier 2025 averages near 3.2% and the 3% target. Offsetting factors include easing food inflation from strong harvests and potential rand stability, leaving market-implied odds clustered tightly across the 2.6–4.4% bands as participants weigh persistent energy pass-through against expected base effects and policy restraint through year-end.

The resolution source for this market will be the Statistics South Africa Consumer Price Index monthly report released for December 2026, currently scheduled to be released on January 20, 2027. Resolution of this market will take place upon release of the aforementioned data. If no data for the specified month is released by the date the next month's data is scheduled to be released, this market will resolve based on data from the last available month.
You can find the relevant figure by locating the report for December 2026 on the Publications page (https://www.statssa.gov.za/?page_id=1859), selecting the report, and selecting “Key Findings (Summary)". The relevant figure will be the figure for annual consumer price inflation (Y/Y, %) in the relevant month.

Note: the resolution source for this market will be the official monthly Statistics South Africa Consumer Price Index report which reports inflation during 12-month periods to one decimal point (e.g. 3.6%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. For the full release schedule, see: https://www.statssa.gov.za/?page_id=1874
