Version 0.28 (2024-07-17 10:57:41.561000)

updates: The South African rand experienced significant fluctuations over the past week due to international influences. Softer US economic data and US election activities have created uncertainty about the long-term strength of the US dollar. Investor sentiment towards South Africa has generally been positive, with economic reform expectations under the new government and global economic trends impacting the currency. Last week, the rand opened at around R18.11 to the dollar, experiencing highs of R18.22 and lows of R18.04 between Monday and Wednesday. On Thursday, the rand emerged as one of the best-performing emerging market currencies year-to-date. The local government's announcement of economic reform initiatives and engagement with the private sector contributed to this. The release of US inflation data indicated faster-than-expected disinflation, hinting at a potential rate cut, which led to the USD/ZAR exchange rate closing at around R17.91. The rand recovered after news of an assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, settling at R18.17. Positive local developments, including progress in visa applications and extensions of nuclear reactor lifespans, helped the rand recover further. The outlook for the ZAR remains cautiously optimistic, with potential for further gains if domestic reforms continue and global conditions remain favorable.
