Polymarket traders price a 37% implied probability for South Africa annual CPI inflation exceeding 5.0% in 2026, reflecting upside risks from the recent Middle East conflict-driven oil price shock that prompted SARB to raise its 2026 forecast to 3.7% (Q2 peak at 4.0%, fuel inflation over 18%). February 2026 CPI eased to 3.0%—the lowest since mid-2025—on falling fuel and health costs, but administered price pressures intensify with Eskom's 8.76% electricity tariff hike effective April 1 and anticipated April fuel increases. Prolonged geopolitics or rand weakening could push inflation above 5%, skewing sentiment toward 4.1-4.4% (25%) and 3.2-3.5% (24.2%) as alternatives; watch March CPI release on April 22 for Q1 trajectory.

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
