USD/ZAR trades at 14-year high on Yuan’s devaluation, good to buy at dips

  • South African rand has fallen to 14 year low against USD as china devalues its currency to support a stuttering economy.

  • Rand falls 0.6% against dollar to new 14 year low of 12.88 today.

  • The step by Chinese central bank to devalue currency has led the rand along with EM currencies to weaken sharply.

  • Technically rand has broken major resistance 12.86 (12th Aug high) and jumped till 12.88.

  • Any further break above 12.88 will target 12.96/13 in short term.

  • Short term trend reversal only below 12.73 and any break below will drag the pair further down till 12.59/12.44.

  • Overall trend reversal only below 11.80 level.

It is good to buy at dips around 12.80 with SL around 12.70 for the TP of 12.96/13
