Africa Markets Weekly (April 20-25): Crude Oil +10%, JSE -4%, Middle East Conflict Spillover Hammers African Assets

Africa's financial markets entered a risk-off phase during the week of April 20-25, 2026, driven by Middle East geopolitical tensions. Brent crude surged approximately 10% on the week, while the Johannesburg Stock Exchange's key indices declined about 4%. Major African currencies—including the South African rand, Nigerian naira, Kenyan shilling, and Egyptian pound—all weakened against the US dollar. Energy-importing nations like Kenya and Egypt faced particular pressure, with Kenya downwardly revising tax revenue forecasts and requesting emergency World Bank support. S&P identified Mozambique and Rwanda as the most vulnerable African economies to the conflict's spillover effects. Meanwhile, Nigeria's President Tinubu reshuffled his finance minister, and South Africa's renewable energy pipeline reached capacity comparable to Eskom's coal generation, offsetting some commodity-driven sentiment.
