The South African rand inched higher to trade just below 16 per USD, hovering near its strongest level since 2022, as investors awaited the 2026 national budget to be presented later this week by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana. Sentiment remained upbeat ahead of a statement that is expected to confirm ongoing fiscal consolidation, characterized by a quicker pace of deficit reduction, a larger primary surplus, and stabilizing public debt under relatively favorable economic conditions. A market-friendly budget is also widely expected to support an improved outlook for the country’s sovereign credit rating. The rand has additionally been underpinned by surging precious-metals prices, structural reforms, and emerging signs of economic recovery. Several months of political stability have further reinforced investor confidence in South Africa.
