03 Macro Drivers

USD/ZAR pits the US dollar against the South African rand, a liquid but volatile emerging-market currency. It is driven by commodity prices (gold and platinum), South African Reserve Bank policy, the US-South Africa interest-rate differential, domestic political and fiscal risk, and global risk appetite, which can swing the rand sharply in both directions.
