@Orca ABN have already forward covered their R purchases, so not  a reason for R strength past few days.

According to Moneyweb yesterday, the buying will carry on for "a few weeks".
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Bloomberg yesterday: "The bottom line: actual or speculated SABMiller-related flows will provide significant help to the rand for weeks to come.”

jaDEB. No rate hike by FED so good for USA stocks and we follow suit.
TOPI exceptionally oversold. Indicators show a reversal especially for commodities. Double bottom and 200MA confirms a short bull run.

The way the All Share is performing today and the resilience of the Rand I don't see any repo rate adjustment today

A new forex idea?? http://view.ceros.com/moneyweb/the-investor-september-2016/p/11
Thanks for the tip. I contacted them to see what their charges are. They wouldn't commit to a fixed spread, but said it's generally spot rate + 0.5%. They also have a R350 fee per transaction. That would make them cheaper than exchange4free (spot+1%) for large amounts, smaller amount will be quite similar I think, as exchange4free has a lower R120 fee for transaction under R100k.

Not sure about Std Bank spread, but Min fee is R140 or 0.51% and capped at R790 (excl the fees on the other side). Daylight robbers I say and they aren't interested in giving better rates above 100k. Patrick, have you used exchange4free? I think ill give ClickFX a try in my next offshore tranch.

FNB is around 2% over spot rate, I don't think any other banks will be much cheaper. I have used exchange4free, the service was good. ClickFX will be about R150 cheaper for a R100k transfer. I'll give them a try next year when my discretionary allowance renews.

Exchange4Free are really good. Moved cash offshore and on the Sterling/Rand rate they were few cents of the spot but no transfer fee to transfer the cash.

Do you remember how far off spot rate they were perhaps? For my USD transactions the spot was R14.30 and I was given R14.45 as their rate.

USD at R13.47 looking good. Let's hope it stays here or goes lower by payday next month. That'll be my last offshore batch for the year.
