Key Data to watch

The week ahead has several key events both domestically and internationally which could provide short term volatility to markets and in turn the South Africa 40 Cash index.

On the local front, Thursday’s South African Reserve Bank (SARB) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting will have traders expecting another 25-basis point (0.25%) rate hike at its conclusion. Friday’s US inflation data ( Core PCE Price Index ) has the potential to move markets most, in lieu of its effects on the pace and path of monetary policy (particularly in the US), a key theme at present.

A calendar of scheduled economic data points for the week is as follows:
