Demand for both the Pound and South African Rand continues to leave the British Pound to South African Rand (GBP/ZAR) exchange rate’s movements volatile. The Pound is attempting to benefit from weakness in rival currencies, but the market’s mood continues to slightly benefit the South African Rand as well. Overall, uncertainty remains a key factor in the pair, and coronavirus developments will continue to dominate the direction of movement.
Since opening this week at the level of 20.71, GBP/ZAR has been trending with an upside bias. While the pair has been struggling to sustain its gains, it has touched on highs multiple times in the past few days.
