"The South African Rand isn't at R7 per USDcurrent rate is about R17.35 to $X (as of Oct XX 2025 per SARB and Trading Economics). Recent stories like from BusinessTech discuss how PPP metrics suggest the Rand is undervalued and "should" be around R7-$11 but that's theoretical not actual. No signs of it happening soon due to economic factors"

"The South African rand weakened today to around R17.48 per US dollar down 1.2%. This is due to investors avoiding riskier assets amid global geopolitical tensions (like rising gold prices signaling uncertainty) speculation on US interest rate cuts and the ongoing US government shutdown. These factors create a "risk-off" mood hurting emerging currencies like the rand"
