ZAR/JPY Moves Below 8.00, Eyes Fibonacci Support

SOUTH AFRICA
  • ZAR/JPY takes a turn below 8.00 post FOMC as risk sentiment sours and covid cases in SA jump higher to >13k.
  • The cross is up 45.84% from the March 2020 lows, and may look to eye the 23.6-38.2% Fibonacci retracement levels should conditions continue to sour in SA in the near-term and global risk aversion gain more traction
  • Major trendline support seen at 7.3352, marginally above the 38.2% fib level.
  • A deeper correction towards the 50% level seems less likely, however, as markets still remain constructive on SAGB & ZAR fundamentals over the medium-term with third wave risks in SA being a near-term detractor.
