TABLE OF CONTENTS


OVERVIEW
During the month under review, Monthly ZiG
inflation stood at -2.4% which is indicative of
the positive impact of the recalibrated monetary
policy measures introduced on 5th April 2024.

Broad
money
(M3)
stock
stood
at
ZiG41,027.61 million in May 2024, an increase
of 5.86% from ZiG38,754.79 million recorded
in April 2024.

On the capital markets, the Zimbabwe Stock
Exchange was bullish while the Victoria Falls
Stock Exchange was bearish during the month
of May 2024.


The value of transactions processed through the
National Payment Systems (NPS) stood at ZiG
90.04 trillion during the month of May 2024.
NPS transaction volumes increased by 39% to
close at 53.88 million, during the same month.

On the external front, the country’s total
merchandise trade for May 2024 stood at
US$1,317.2 million, reflecting a 7.51%
increase, compared to the US$1,225.2 million
recorded in the previous month. The increase in
total trade was attributable to increases in both
imports and exports, during the reporting
month.

International monthly average prices for gold,
platinum, copper, nickel, and lithium firmed,
while those for palladium and Brent crude oil
retreated in May 2024. Prices for most
commodities gained mainly on account of
increased demand, geopolitical fragmentation,
and market expectations regarding the US
Federal Reserve's plans for interest rate cuts.

Gold
Gold prices rose by 0.7%, from US$2,333.14
per
ounce
in
the
previous
month
to
US$2,349.69 per ounce, during the month
under review. Prices were supported by safehaven demand as geopolitical uncertainty
persists.

Platinum
Platinum prices increased by 7.7%, from an
average of US$941.68 per ounce in the
previous month to US$1,014.22 per ounce,
during the reporting month. This was mainly on
account of higher demand for the precious
metal.

Palladium
During the reporting month, palladium prices
slumped by 4% to US$975.33 per ounce from
US$1,016.08 per ounce recorded in April 2024.
This was due to the auto-industry’s continued
relative preference for the more affordable
platinum based catalytic converters and hence
decreasing demand for palladium. The price
trends of precious metals for the period from
April 2021 to May 2024 are shown in Figure 1.

Brent Crude Oil
During the month of May 2024, Brent crude oil
prices declined by 6.6%, from an average of
US$88.96 per barrel in April 2024 to US$83.05
per barrel. Prices decreased mainly on account
of investor anticipation of the US Federal
Reserve's intentions of further tightening
interest rates, aimed at sustaining current
inflation levels. Figure 2 shows developments
in oil prices for the period from May 2021 to
May 2024.

Copper
The red metal’s monthly average price rose by
6.7%, from US$9,592.53 per tonne recorded in
the prior month to US$10,236.52 per tonne,
during the month under analysis. The price
increase was mainly due to subdued supply
concerns amid high global demand.
Nickel
The price of nickel increased by 7.9%, from an
average of US$18,353.90 per tonne in April
2024 to US$19,805.43 per tonne, during the
month under review. This was mainly driven by
political unrest in New Caledonia, which holds
10% of the world’s nickel reserves, and supply
restrictions from Russia. Figure 3 shows base
metals price developments for the period from
May 2021 to May 2024.

The country’s total merchandise trade for May
2024 stood at US$1,317.2 million, 7.51%
higher, compared to the US$1,225.2 million
recorded in the previous month. The increase in
total trade was attributable to increases in both
imports and exports, during the reporting
month. On a year-on-year basis, total
merchandise trade receded by about 14.2%,
from US$1,504.6 million recorded in the
corresponding month in 2023.

exported merchandise worth US$583.0 million
representing an increase of 13.5%, from

was largely driven by increased gold exports.

however, 10.9% lower than the US$654.2
million recorded in the corresponding month in
2023. Figure 5 shows developments in the
country’s merchandise exports for the period
