Where do you live? In SA? Then you can be earning dollars, but your cost of living is increasing too.
LolWell, at least there is an upside to a weak Rand. Those getting married now at least knows women are marrying for love again...
1 United States Dollar equals
14,98 South African Rand
Hope the trend continues...
Won't easily reach the R12 levels we saw.Hope the trend continues...
Someone will have to open their mouth. Far too much positive movement today.
We give ANC too much credit at times.+1
Jeez! R14,66 already... only a matter of time before the ANC pulls its next move.
If SA doesn't want to raise rates someone else has to.We give ANC too much credit at times.

"The rand was firmer against major global currencies on Thursday afternoon, benefiting positively from gains in the Turkish lira, after that country’s raised interest rates by 625 basis points to 24%.
The rand earlier found some support from risk-on sentiment globally, after the US indicated it wanted fresh talks with China over their trade disputes."
We blamed turkey when it went up so we can blame them now again for the rand recovering. They hiked their interest rates by quite a bit.Someone will have to open their mouth. Far too much positive movement today.
We don't have the inflation, we are already in a recession. Making money more expensive now doesn't seem rational.If SA doesn't want to raise rates someone else has to.
In what world are you living?We don't have the inflation, we are already in a recession. Making money more expensive now doesn't seem rational.
Rand seems to have gained a fair bit. Below R14.70 again. Temporary or or settling around here is the question.
The rand firmed on Wednesday after Stats SA announced that annual consumer inflation for August was marginally lower than analysts had expected.
The CPI rate (for all urban areas) was 4.9% compared with July's 5.1% print. The consensus was for CPI to accelerate to 5.2%.
Does anyone believe inflation has dropped in the slightest? Anyone magically find it easier to buy groceries and pay bills these days?Rand firms on consumer inflation surprise.
