An extra R54 billion in last Wednesday's budget had the Rand at R16.34 by that evening... ...and two days later? The Gulf war had reached Saudi oil, and the Rand had handed the lot back at R16.59/$. forexforecasts.co.za/rand-re…

The SARB hiked last Wednesday, on a softer inflation figure. The Rand lost 23 cents the same day. The hike was priced in well before it came – by the time it landed, there was no-one left to buy Rand. forexforecasts.co.za/rand-re…

Everything went wrong last week. Except the Rand. An oil shock, a R3 fuel hike, our worst factory data of 2026, and a US jobs number three times consensus. The Rand gained 23 cents and closed below R16 – its first weekly close there since February. forexforecasts.co.za/rand-re…
