On Tuesday, the South African rand depreciated against the US dollar, a development attributed to unfavorable local economic data and rising US Treasury yields. The ABSA Manufacturing PMI’s decline signaled a growing divergence between the South African and US economies. This disparity was further highlighted by the hawkish remarks made by Fed official Mester.

The influence of China’s National Day Golden Week on commodity prices also contributed to the softer rand, favoring the safe-haven dollar. Market participants are closely observing the forthcoming speech by Raphael Bostic, Atlanta Fed Chief, which could potentially impact currency trends.

The pair is grappling with the 19.3000 resistance handle, revealing a rising wedge pattern that suggests a brief upside rally may be imminent. The susceptibility of Emerging Market currencies, particularly in relation to the USD/ZAR support levels, is being underscored in light of these developments.

These observations highlight the current state of global currency markets and underline the potential risks and opportunities for investors. As always, market participants are urged to closely monitor these dynamics as they evolve in response to both domestic and international economic indicators.
