CAD to ZAR 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent loonie → rand forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Canadian dollar to South African rand performance and trends.

 

The CAD to ZAR exchange rate has shown some stability recently, currently situated at 12.90, which is 2.3% lower than its three-month average of 13.21. This stability follows a trading range of 12.88 to 13.89, indicating relatively modest fluctuations. Analysts report that the Canadian dollar (CAD) has been buoyed by a stronger US dollar, although it recently faced headwinds from falling oil prices. The CAD, as a commodity-linked currency, is highly sensitive to oil market fluctuations, with recent prices rising to $68.80—3.2% above its three-month average. This rise aligns with ongoing volatility in oil prices, which have experienced a range from $60.14 to $78.85.

Several recent developments may impact the CAD outlook. The Bank of Canada has paused interest rate cuts, maintaining a benchmark rate of 2.75%, which has supported the CAD. However, ongoing trade tensions with the US, including recent tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, present significant risks that could limit any potential upside for the loonie. Political changes, including Mark Carney’s appointment as Prime Minister following Justin Trudeau's resignation amid political instability, may also influence investor sentiment going forward.

On the other hand, the South African rand (ZAR) remains vulnerable due to external factors, particularly its dependence on foreign investment to address its budget and current account deficits. Trade tensions initiated by the US tariffs could further exacerbate this vulnerability, affecting the ZAR’s performance as it navigates these challenges.

Overall, while the Canadian dollar has some supportive factors in its favor, such as improved oil prices and stable interest rates, analysts maintain a cautious outlook given the intertwining issues of US trade policy and Canada’s domestic economic performance. Traders and businesses engaging with the CAD/ZAR pair should remain vigilant regarding these developments, as they are likely to shape the exchange rate dynamics in the near term.
