Rand strengthens: What's next? In-depth insights from currency strategist Andre Cilliers of TreasuryONE

Loading player...
In this week's Currency Focus podcast, valuable pointers on where the rand is heading in relation to major currencies: Investors want higher interest rates but they aren't coming - the US government has made that clear, but many aren't listening, says South African currency expert Andre Cilliers of TreasuryONE. That in turn, he notes, has implications for the value of currencies in relation to the US dollar, including the rand. In this in-depth interview, Cilliers shares his reading of global and domestic data and currents in the markets with BizNews editor-at-large Jackie Cameron. If you were listening to Cilliers on BizNews last week, you would have already known that the rand was set to strengthen soon - as it did this week, breaking through the R14 line.
