USD/ZAR Forecast Fundamental Analysis | US Dollar / South African Rand

US Initial Jobless Claims for the week of April 3rd are predicted at 680K, and US Continuing Claims for the week of March 27th are predicted at 3,650K. Forex traders can compare this to US Initial Jobless Claims for the week of March 27th, reported at 719K, and to US Continuing Claims for the week of March 20th, reported at 3,794K.


The forecast for the USD/ZAR remains bearish after price action continues to set lower highs, with the Tenkan-sen extending its move lower. Choppy trading may follow until the flatlining Kijun-sen corrects. The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud narrowed to a thin, sideways cloud, confirming the lack of momentum in either direction. With the CCI in extreme oversold territory, traders should wait for a spike higher before selling into rallies in the USD/ZAR.
