Aiming 14.23 - 14.28
South Africa still under shedding.
Under load shedding.
all that's been taken into consideration now. the next push up will happen when SA is fully moved to junk by Moody in Feb (all the negative data should confirm it)
What just happened? A big sudden drop!
As per reports a trade deal has been reached between US and China.
How high will it get before NY close? Do you think we'll get back to 14.68?
Not today. Bulls take the stairs. Bears take the window.
There must be a lot of buy orders at 14.50. Price just hit a wall.
support level created in October passed for the 3rd time. I think this one is the nail in the coffin. not going to see it go up this year - IMHO
Was not expecting a -1% day on a day with such bad economic data. My Zuma comment still stand. DXY up 0,22%.
Fundamentals will win the day. This is a super buying opportunity.
 Seems not to be the case.
My 5c. I reckon this could keep on going down close to 14 or even just through. I think then would be a great time for going long with a one year horizon.

Added to my long at 14.53.   Another buy on for 14.50.   GL to us all!
Dow jones record high man
Time to buyyyyyy
Go, look at ga, I didn't hv a chance to get out before it durge 420pips. So sad. Gbp really cannot touch, going to quit soon.
I looked at GA yesterday n it was quite a drop until 1.900 n I was thinking that you were smiling about it but I was really shocked when i opened my phone a few hours ago looking at GU jumped 400 points, sorry to look at that, i bet many people got wiped out with this situation, so you’re still holding it?
Ues still holding, what a waste you didn't buy? But I guess maybe can short now. Whatever good luck
has anyone realised that this pair keeps selling even tho bad news keeps coming out zar, the least positive news makes it sell and trade war news was good so it sold

Risk on is trumping USD strength so the USDZAR is falling.   Its on transitory though in my mind.    Economics in SA will reassert themselves and we will start climbing again soon IMO
Why the sudden huge drop?
Trump tweeted: Getting VERY close to a BIG DEAL with China. They want it, and so do we!
from wallstreet journalU.S. NEGOTIATORS OFFER TO CUT EXISTING TARIFF RATES BY UP TO 50% ON $360 BILLION OF CHINESE IMPORTS - WSJ
now waiting China response, so get ready for next jump
Definite buying opportunity. I have buy orders every 2c all the way down to 14.50 I hope all get hit.
buying now? Thursdays are down days for the ZAR. and Trump is out with his tweets that deals are close, it's gonna be alot worse tomorrow with this guy and it's gonna break the lows
Yoh! didn't expect them to get hit that fast!
Bad ideap

Initiated a long again.  14.60
Mining and PPI numbers not good for ZAR.

Yep. Im inititing at 14.64
And there we go. Back to where we started before stage 6 load shedding. But in reality, its stage 6 blackouts.. . . Mar Ben did you go long again? I did manage to unload a few longs from 14,69 @ 14,82 yesterday. Thinking of going long again.

hey mate.   nope, i decided to wait for a better entry point.    USD lost overnight so i was thinking we might have a bit more to fall on this pair.   thinking about initiating at 14.65.. I had the long side - its such an expensive trade.   but i do think ZAR is overvalued so its a sensible trade..
Eskom called off load-shedding on Wednesday night. In a short statement, the power utility said it would start with the termination of stage 2 load-shedding from 10pm - "with load-shedding terminated in all areas by 11pm". "This is done in a safe and controlled way to keep the system in balance," Eskom said. Reasons for this were not given.
Buy USDZAR range 14.7049 to 14.5227 target 15.0000 stoploss 15.5737. short term
While I'm waiting for tomorrow Federal Interest Rate did some buy 10.46 on EUR/SEK to TP 10.53
Anybody know why we have such a big drop? It has lost almost all of the gains from yesterday.
may see 14.68 before it turn around for 14.76
For the past 15 years, Eskom had R2 billion worth of electricity disappeared annually unaccounted for. Eskom just discovered that Zimbabwe had been connecting electricity illegally for years
Fake news
All major news agency report it

that's hilarious.    and totally believable
was loadshedding cancelled? looks like the trend for the day has been defined
Wondering the same.... Not sure why this is going down with DXY just just positive. Maybe gold is helping it?
