Rand goes from hero to zero

After being flooded with positive sentiment at the start of the year, the rand is back in the basket of worst-performing currencies thanks to the war in the Middle East.

It was at $16.55 on the first of Jan 2026 and it is currently sitting at $16.37. Make it make sense to a dodo like me...

Business Tech likes clickbait. Nothing else to understand.

also the Rand is not doing a damn thing, irrational retards across the globe flock to the US dollar in times of war, lifting it above other currencies ... even when USA started the f-ing war

People are delusional, the Rand hasn't been anywhere near 'Hero' status since the 80's, under the ANC it is dead currency for a dead economy and that is unlikely to change, although the excuses will be coming fast and hard.
