GUEST – Isaac Matshego – Nedbank Senior Economist SARB's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) left the repo rate at 7.50% at its March meeting, following cuts of 25 bps at each of the previous 3 meetings. While the MPC expected inflation to remain contained over the short term but feared that a global trade war could unsettle the rand and lead to renewed price pressures over the medium term. The MPC probably also took note of the Fed’s growing caution, understanding that a prolonged pause or even tighter monetary policy by the Fed could amplify the downward pressure on the rand. While stressing the upside risks, SARB nonetheless lowered its inflation forecasts to only 3.6% in 2025 and 4.5% in 2026 and 2027. The central bank expected lower oil prices to dampen the impact of the VAT rate hike, a weaker rand, and higher electricity tariffs over the short term.GUEST – Isaac Matshego – Nedbank Senior Economist SARB's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) left the repo rate at 7.50% at its March meeting, following cuts of 25 bps at each of the previous 3 meetings.

GUEST – Horacia Naidoo-McCarthy, a manager in the Institutional Clients team at Allan Gray As US President Donald Trump announced steep tariffs earlier this month, global share markets sold off massively. Investors were clearly rattled by the potential impact that these tariffs could have on global trade and shifted their portfolios accordingly. As with COVID-19, understandably, many investors reacted emotively and locked in permanent losses as a result. Extreme situations make us feel like we have to do something different to respond to the current moment; but perhaps the best course of action is to stick to the basics and follow the logic that has proven to pay off over long time periods. Horacia Naidoo-McCarthy, a manager in the Institutional Clients team at Allan Gray, joins Kaya Biz to share some long-term lessons on navigating extreme volatility – based on what we have seen in the past.
