The rand has managed to reach the technical support level of 18.2000 with 18.0000 being the next test. The predicted trading range for the rand today is between 18.0500 to 18.4500.
The rand has managed to recover against the dollar from its losses made in May. The local unit lost over 7% against the greenback, but the less intense power cuts are lending support to the rand.
There has been some political tension between South Africa and the United States, as South Africa’s relationship with Russia is getting stronger. Analysts are predicting an adjustment that is overdue, where we could see the USD/ZAR move back towards the 19.00 level.
