The South African rand firmed slightly toward 17.3 per USD, hovering near November 2024 highs, supported by strong precious metals prices—particularly gold—and a weakening US dollar. Investor focus centered on the forthcoming domestic inflation data and upcoming policy decisions from the US Federal Reserve and South African Reserve Bank later in the week. Meanwhile, South Africa's inflation expectations continued its downward trend into Q3, after the central bank said it would aim for a lower inflation level. The central bank is widely anticipated to keep the main lending rate unchanged at 7% on September 18, to control price pressures and guide expectations down to the new goal of anchoring inflation at 3%. Inflation has ticked up to 3.5% from 2.7% in March, and economists expect it to settle around 4% by year-end. Some analysts think the bank's stated preference for 3% inflation will also encourage it to maintain its repo rate after cuts in May and July.

US stock futures edged higher on Monday, with contracts on the three major indexes up around 0.2%, extending last week’s strong gains as traders await the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. Markets have fully priced in a 25 bps cut to the fed funds rate, while leaving a small chance for a larger 50 bps move. Investors largely expect rate cuts to persist through year-end. On the corporate front, Tesla shares surged nearly 7% in premarket trading after reports that Elon Musk purchased about $1 billion worth of the EV maker’s stock last week. In contrast, Nvidia slipped about 1.6% after Chinese regulators said the company had violated anti-monopoly laws.

Sri Lanka’s economy expanded 4.9% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025, edging higher from 4.8% in the previous quarter, marking the eighth consecutive quarter of positive growth and highlighting a gradual recovery from the country’s worst financial crisis in decades. The modest acceleration was supported by a 3.9% increase in services output (compared to 2.8% in Q1 2025), a 2.0% rise in agricultural activity (compared to -0.7%), and a 5.8% expansion in the industrial sector (compared to 9.7%).

The unemployment rate in India eased to 5.1% in August of 2025 from 5.2% in the previous month, equaling the record low from April of this year. The result contrasted with the market consensus that the jobless rate would increase to 5.3%, aligned with other economic indicators to show some traction in the Indian economy despite aggressive tariffs passed by the United States in the period. The unemployment rate for the male population fell to a five-month low of 5%. In the meantime, the female labor force participation rate rose to 33.7% from 33.3% in the previous month, supported by growth in both rural and urban areas of the country.
