Quick Glance: EFF's Shivambu as Finance Minister Would Truly Spook the Markets
- In typical EFF fashion, politician Julius Malema recently made the controversial statement that the EFF would only consider a coalition with the ANC after the elections if EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu is appointed finance minister.
- DA leader John Steenhuisen did not mince his words at the recent launch of his party’s Western Cape manifesto in Paarl, in the Drakenstein Municipality.
- Steenhuisen warned that under a coalition with Shivambu as finance minister, the EFF would unleash its destructive economic policies to turn South Africa into the next Venezuela or Zimbabwe.
- Investment strategist Izak Odendaal from Old Mutual Wealth says it is unlikely that Shivambu would take on what is arguably the most important Cabinet position, even in the event of an ANC-EFF coalition.

Quick Glance: South African Rand Weakens After US CPI Release
- South Africa's rand slipped as the dollar surged following data indicating a rise in U.S. inflation, reducing expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in June.
- The dollar index rose after the inflation report, trading up approximately 1.08% against a basket of global currencies.
- No economic data releases are scheduled in South Africa until Thursday, when gold and mining production as well as manufacturing data for February will be released.
- With general elections just over six weeks away, market uncertainty has contributed to rand weakness, exacerbated by an opinion poll estimating voter support for the governing African National Congress at 37%.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.
- Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.
- Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.
- Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.
