About USD/ZAR
USD/ZAR measures how many South African Rand it takes to buy one US Dollar. Like any exchange rate it is driven by the interest-rate gap between the two central banks, by the relative pace of growth and inflation in each economy, by trade and capital flows, and by the overall appetite for risk in global markets. A stronger US Dollar — or a weaker South African Rand — pushes the rate up.
