South African Rand could be new darling of carry trades
Oct 24 (Reuters) -The South African could be the new darling of carry trades as it has strengthened significantly while other currencies used for such trades have suffered.
The purge of carry trades which have previously been much favoured began when Mexico's peso plummeted around the time of an election there. The situation worsened when the Bank of Japan announced changes to its policy and the reaction clearly shocked traders, with a big influence on sentiment.
Not only has the shock curbed interest in currencies that were preferred ahead of the purge, it has lessened the chance that Japan's monetary policy changes much or changes quickly.
With stock markets once again buoyant and FX relatively quiet, there is reason for traders to move back into yen-funded carry trades. The surprising performance of South Africa's rand, which hit a record low last month but has surged since as other risky currencies have dropped, is eye-catching.
Rand's rise makes it the focal point for carry trades for which it has the necessary qualifications, being one of very few free-floating and higher-yielding currencies that are widely traded.
While USD/ZAR has rebounded from this year's low in September at 17.0375 to reach 17.8625 this week, ZAR/JPY has stormed higher - gaining more than 10% from Sept. 11 to Oct. 23, going from 7.8500 to 8.6996.
There have been several recent buy signals including a Golden Cross when 55-DMA rose above the 200-DMA, which should encourage buyers expecting gains toward the next bull target at 9.0000, though the rise has much greater potential toward 10.
