I wonder if this is the reason for the added strength: http://www.enca.com/south-africa/time-to-step-down-motlanthe-tells-anc-top-brass

SA rate hike this afternoon or perhaps Trump said something.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Is the ZAR strong or the USD weak?

With the ZAR gaining on all major currencies shows that the ZAR itself is strengthening. It has now reached a point where traders will start to bank profits.

Yes, it is ZAR strength - even against the £ which has gained against both $ and Euro.
Think it has to do with SARB being more hawkish in their rates outlook compared to their
last meeting. Plus of course the upwards momentum in resource prices.
A temporary phenomenon, ZAR is structurally weak even without political influences.
Expect a weaker ZAR towards end 2017. Say 14.20 to the $ ??

So the $ has peaked. This is good for commodities and ZAR. My prediction of sub 13 is looking real if Z does not move Pravin out.

Maybe read "The Rand" thread where some of us made predictions - quite interesting to see that the direction has so far been correct

All my predictions and warnings have come true. Exactly where I predicted a year ago and my recent 13.5 stagnation happened. The breakthrough below that happened eventually. Reached the 13.25 area that I said will be a strong banking of profits area. Not all posts were done on that thread.
