SOUTH AFRICA
  • A marked deterioration in risk conditions This week has propelled ZAR/JPY lower as the risk-proxy cross faced two-way drivers on JPY strength and acute ZAR weakness.
  • ZAR has faced selling pressure on the back of weaker Chinese economic data, Expedited FOMC taper timelines and weaker risk sentiment lingering from the recent Cabinet reshuffle and social unrest
