Read forecast

Bias Bearish-to-range-bound; GBP/ZAR sits below its 90-day average and at the lower edge of the three-month range. Key drivers - Rate gap: The BoE is expected to ease toward lower levels in 2026 while SARB has already eased and remains comparatively tighter, widening the gap in favor of ZAR. - Risk/commodities: Oil sits above its three-month average with notable volatility, and higher oil tends to support the rand through inflation dynamics and export outlook, while UK energy costs keep sterling under pressure. - Macro factor: Inflation easing toward the SARB target supports a steadier rand. Range GBP/ZAR is likely to drift within the recent band, with a tendency to hover near the lower end unless UK data surprises to the upside. What could change it - Upside risk: Stronger-than-expected UK data or a slower pace of rate cuts by the BoE could lift GBP. - Downside risk: Renewed risk-off mood or UK data disappointment could push GBP lower
