GBPZAR remains bearish-to-range-bound, below the 90-day avg and in the lower half of the 3-month range. BoE tighter for longer; SARB easing narrows the gap and supports the rand. UK growth looks weak, keeping downside pressure on GBP amid global uncertainty. Bias: Bearish-to-range-bound, as GBP/ZAR sits below the ninety-day average and in the lower half of the three-month range. Key drivers: - Rate gap: BoE policy remains tighter for longer while SARB has eased, narrowing the gap and lending support to the rand. - Risk/commodities: Oil remains above its average over the last three months and stays volatile, which tends to dampen risk appetite and bolster the rand in periods of uncertainty. - Macro factor: UK growth is projected to slow, keeping downward pressure on the pound and offering a cautious backstop for rand strength amid global uncertainty. Range: The pair is likely to drift toward the upper end of the three-month range, testing the top but staying within bounds for now. What could change it: - Upside risk: unexpected UK data weakness or a shift toward a slower BoE rate path could push GBPZAR higher. - Downside risk: a renewed rand rally on higher metals demand or further SARB easing could push GBPZAR lower
