لماذا يهم
Food and energy prices jump with harvests and oil, then fall back. The core rate shows the underlying trend that the South African Reserve Bank can actually influence, so it often moves markets more than the headline. Services inflation, driven by wages, is the stickiest part.
طريقة الحساب
Statistics South Africa takes the consumer price index basket, removes the excluded items and re-weights the rest; the change is measured month on month and against the same month a year earlier.
Core inflation (yoy) = core index ÷ core index 12 months ago − 1ما تعنيه التغيرات
- A core rate falling towards the target lets the South African Reserve Bank ease; a stubborn core keeps rates high.
- Monthly core changes of 0.2% compound to about 2.4% a year; 0.3% to about 3.7%.
- Markets compare the figure with the consensus to one decimal; a 0.1-point surprise moves currencies.
أعلى من المتوقع: A higher figure than expected makes the South African Reserve Bank more likely to keep rates high or raise them: it tends to support the South African rand and push bond yields up, and is often a weight on stocks.
أقل من المتوقع: A lower figure than expected gives the South African Reserve Bank room to cut or hold rates lower: the South African rand tends to soften and bond yields to fall.
لمحة تاريخية قصيرة
Economists Robert Gordon and others popularised excluding food and energy in the 1970s, when oil shocks made the headline rate misleading; most central banks now publish or watch a core measure.
