NewsBehind the good news of a strong rand is some bad news in South Africa

A strong rand typically makes all South Africans happy since it represents a vote of confidence in the country. The rand, on the other hand, is being propped up by expectations that the South African Reserve Bank would undertake a more aggressive rate-hiking cycle to head off any stagflationary price shocks in food and petrol, while maintaining in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve's more hawkish posture.

He estado operando con esta empresa durante 1 mes y hasta ahora estoy satisfecho y continuaré operando. El depósito mínimo es de solo $ 10, lo que permite que más personas lo prueben. La mosca en el ungüento es que el servicio al cliente que ofrece no está disponible las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, lo que significa que a veces tengo que esperar horas o incluso uno o dos días para obtener una respuesta.

I really hope that all the traders can keep alert and never fall into the traps set by forex scammers. The forex trading by itself is already too risky, we should do everything to avoid scams!
