The Depreciating Sout African Rand

Fundamentals:
Deteriorating economic-fundamentals for the South African Rand:
"It's a futile exercise trying to defend the exchange rate," says the South African Central Bank governor. He won't defend the depreciating rand. According to Reuters, Kganyago says that the "bank's main concern remained fighting inflation, reiterating that risks to the inflation outlook included food prices, oil prices and exchange-rate moves."

South Africa's consumer inflation "remains comfortably within the central bank's target range of between 3%-6%." The Rand's central bankers meet in November to discuss interest rates.
