South Africa private sector activity rose to a 44-month high in April as the S&P Global PMI reached 51.6. The reading climbed from 50.8 in March, marking the strongest expansion for the nation since mid-2022. Investors should note that "safety stock" building linked to Middle East tensions drove much of this temporary growth.
