AUD to ZAR 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent aussie → rand forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Australian dollar to South African rand performance and trends.

 

Bias: Bearish-to-range-bound, as AUD/ZAR trades below the 90-day average and in the lower half of the 3-month range.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: RBA signaling a path to higher rates while SARB has eased, keeping policy contrasts in favor of AUD but not enough to drive a clear upturn.
  • Risk/commodities: Oil sits above its 3-month average with elevated volatility, which tends to support AUD when risk appetite improves, while ZAR remains sensitive to commodity moves and global risk flows.
  • Macro factor: China’s uneven rebound dampens demand for Australian exports, weighing on the AUD and leaving future cycles uncertain.

Range: Expect a drift within the 3-month range, with a tilt toward the lower end and the risk of testing the recent low, particularly if oil remains firm and China data disappoints.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: A clearer rate-hike path from the RBA could lift the AUD versus the ZAR if risk appetite holds.
  • Downside risk: China weakness and softer Australian data could keep AUD under pressure and allow the ZAR to gain.
