Societe Generale strategists highlighted that the South African rand remains a standout performer in CEEMEA, rising roughly 2.4% against the US dollar in spot terms this month.

The note points to carry appeal and gold as supportive factors for the currency. USD/ZAR is now approaching a break below 16.00, a level it has not traded through for some time.

The strategists view the rand's strength as part of a broader supportive backdrop for the currency, with the pair moving closer to a potentially significant technical level.
