ZAR weakens on stronger USD

Trade report 03/07/2013

The USD-ZAR failed to continue on its downside break like many in the market were hoping. The USD strengthened overnight which can be attributed to a number of factors: firstky the expectation of strong US payroll numbers and the US markets closing early today.

The USD-ZAR is expected to trade at 9.95-10.1000 today.
