It is also projected that there will be another 25 basis points cut in the next quarter.
After the MPC rates decision on the 21st May 2020, the Rand gained around 1.83%.
We anticipate theRand to reverse the gains by 4.21% to R18.29 and a break from there would see the Rand trading to the low of R18.57.
This is also supported by the DXY that has been trading lower.
Any break through R17.51 would take the rand to R17.25.
In a long term, we expect the rand to trade to back to R16 level.
