USDZAR trade ideas

usdzarstrogerThe South African rand edged higher against the dollar despite a strong U.S. jobs report on Friday, after a difficult week for risk sensitive currencies as tensions escalated in the Middle East. By 1512 GMT, the rand USDZAR traded about 0.3% firmer at 17.465 against the dollar. Since the start of the week, the local unit is down about 2%. The dollar DXY jumped to a seven-week high after data showed that U.S. employers added more jobs than expected in September, leading traders to pare bets of an outsized interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in November.

“USDZAR on a Downward Trend”The South African Reserve Bank has reduced the policy interest rate to 8.00%. Following this move, the reversals at the 17.40 level in the USDZAR pair have drawn attention. The Fed had unexpectedly cut rates by 50 basis points at its September meeting. This situation has led to significant losses in dollar assets, while we can observe that any increases in the USDZAR pair remain limited. From a technical perspective, if the exchange rate surpasses the 17.70 level, rises may initially extend to 17.95 and then to the 18.20 resistance level. On the downside, if the 17.40 level is breached, we could see a decline to 17.15 and then to the 16.90 support level.
