ZAR/USD historic rates
USD/ZAR is currently at 17.09, hitting 90-day lows, driven by dovish Fed signals after weak job data. Analysts foresee further USD weakness, although the ZAR has gained from the removal of SA from the 'grey list.' Watch for upcoming economic releases that may affect both currencies
