Rand rallying to R15.06 against the greenback. Anybody want to predict how soon we'll see R14.20 again?

They were waiting to see the budgets (in Aug or Oct?)

Read a column in Business day written by Hilary Joffe. Where she said S&P tends to be more hawkish of the 3 ratings agencies. Does this mean they tend to change their rating much quicker of the three?

Fitch tends to align with SP

Would be really hard for Fitch to justify anything opposite decision than those of the other rating agencies...They will probably just confirm what the others said, but just in slightly different words.

Then we agree not to expect any shenanigans from them, which will lead to more rand strength.

just remember poor job reports from US, so no FED rate hike: then its all about the dollar rather than the ZAR. Toxic...

The rand is ok for now, Brexit, FED rate , US elections are dollar concerns. I have given up on speculating...

Yes and with the volatile politics in SA you'll be guessing all the way.
