USD-ZAR moving higher on USD strength

Friday, March 20, 2015 5:26 AM UTC

The USD-ZAR rally since mid-2014 has been driven more by USD strength than by idiosyncratic ZAR weakness. The dollar index, measured by DXY, started rising strongly since mid-2014 and was up 24% between 30 June 2014 and 12 March 2015.

The ZAR's total return against the USD is a loss of 9.03% over this period, compared to a loss of 22.3% for the euro (EUR) and a loss of 16.2% for the Japanese yen (JPY).
