One prediction market prices this story:
- Above 2.5% — the market puts it at 2%, closing 21 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if South Africa's month-over-month retail sales growth in August 2026 exceeds 2.5%. It resolves to No if that figure is 2.5% or lower. Readers often mistake the linked nuclear fuel deal for the relevant data, but only the official retail sales statistic counts.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
