Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a tight contest for the South African Reserve Bank's May 28 repo rate decision, with no change at 45% implied probability slightly ahead of a 39.7% chance of increase, while a decrease lags at 11.7%. March CPI accelerated modestly to 3.1% year-on-year from 3.0% prior—still within the 3-6% target band—yet the MPC's March 26 statement highlighted upside risks, projecting a Q2 peak near 4% driven by an oil price shock pushing fuel inflation above 18%. Weak GDP growth forecasts around 1.6% for 2026 temper cut expectations, leaving the hold-versus-hike dynamic hinging on April CPI data and global energy trends ahead of the meeting.
