What impacts the CHF/ZAR exchange rate
The CHF/ZAR symbol represents the pairing of the Swiss Franc against the South African rand in the forex market - an interesting pair offering ample levels of volatility and opportunities to generate profits, if traded carefully. The CHF is one of the leading safe haven currencies that traders turn to in times of heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainty in global financial markets. On the other hand, the South African rand is considered both as an emerging market currency as well as a commodity currency. The ZAR gets its commodity currency status as South Africa is a key exporter of gold, platinum, diamonds as well as iron ore. Any fluctuations in the prices of these commodities affects the value of the ZAR and drives volatility in the exchange rate of the CHF/ZAR. In addition, important geopolitical developments and economic updates from around the world, especially the US economy, tend to impact the value of the CHF. The market sentiment also plays an important role in influencing the CHF/ZAR. When markets trade with a risk-off sentiment, the CHF strengthens, turning the CHF/ZAR currency pair bullish. On the other hand, a risk-on sentiment weakens the CHF and strengthens commodity currencies like the ZAR, turning this pair bearish.
