South African rand's future looks brighter
Nov 5 (Reuters) -The South African rand's future looks brighter, with the currency underpinned by demand for one of very few freely floating and higher-yielding currencies.
The rand has recently done better at the expense of Mexico's peso, which has similar traits to the rand and is another of the band of possible FX investments that are in very short supply.
The peso has been undermined by the threat of Donald Trump's policies should he become president. If he does win the U.S. election, then the peso could head down further and more of the cash once invested in it could head towards the rand. If Trump loses then the peso could rally, which could boost demand for currencies with similar characteristics such as the rand.
The rand's advance was only checked when it because seriously overbought in September following a more than 12% gain versus the U.S. dollar this year. With the U.S. easing cycle, a key influence for South African interest rates, getting underway the current gap between the two nations' rates may remain similar or grow.
This should maintain the rand's attraction, which is far greater when compared with the currencies that will more likely be sold to purchase it like Japan's yen, Swiss franc, Thai baht or Taiwan dollar, all of which are undermined by much more accommodative monetary policies.
The rand has rocketed more than 12% in the last three months versus the yen and has gained more than 7% versus CHF this year, almost 3% versus the Thai baht and more than 9% against the Taiwan dollar.
A "death cross" sell signal for USD/ZAR where 55-WMA falls below 100-WMA could give the rand's 2024 rally fresh impetus. A test of the 200-WMA at 16.9608 could result. Should that give way, the rand could double its 2024 gains.
It may have much more potential to rise and become the darling of carry trades in 2025.
