Le rand sud-africain et la roupie et le dollar américain sont en baisse, tandis que le Dirham and the pound sterling are on the rise.

The South African rand slipped early on Wednesday, before economic data were released at the end of the week. The rand was at 17.7875 against the dollar at 0744 GMT, 0.4% weaker than its previous close. The rand, like most emerging market currencies, tends to follow international movements as well as local economic events.

The Indian rupee is expected to open slightly lower on Wednesday, following a fall in other Asian currencies, and is expected to maintain a tight range as part of central bank intervention.

The one-month undeliverable futures contract indicated that the rupee will be slightly lower than its close of 83.9250 per US dollar in the previous session.

The US dollar held steady near its lowest level in over a year on Wednesday against a basket of peers, with sterling trading just below its highest levels in several years, as markets focused on clues about the extent of a decline widely expected US interest rates next month. Le dollar s' effondre face au yen et oscille près de son plus bas niveau depuis 2 ans et demi face à la livre sterling après le changement de ton de la Fed .

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, was up 0.07% at 100.67, floating above a 13-month low of 100.51 reached in the previous session.

Par ailleurs, The Dirham appreciated by 0.73% against the American dollar and depreciated by 0.23% against the euro during the week from 15 to 21 August 2024. According to Bank Al-Maghrib (BAM), as of 16 August, official reserve assets stood at 363.6 billion dirhams, down 0.3% from one week to the next and up 3.4%

year-on-year.

Sterling hit its highest level in two years against the dollar on Tuesday, and also rose against the euro, supported by bets from the Bank of England that will cut rates less radically than the Federal Reserve, while the British economy surpasses that of the Eurozone. The pound rose to $1.3246, its highest level since March 2022, and gained 0.25% to $1.3222. The pound also gained ground on the euro, with the common currency losing 0.27% to 84.45 pence, its lowest level since 1 August
