South African Rand

The South African Rand (ZAR) is the official currency of South Africa and is also accepted as legal tender in Lesotho, Eswatini, and Namibia. Introduced in 1961 to replace the pound at decimal independence, the rand takes its name from the Witwatersrand ridge where South Africa's gold deposits were discovered in 1886. The ZAR is a commodity currency heavily correlated with gold, platinum, and mining sector performance. It is the most traded African currency and is sensitive to global risk appetite.

Chinese Yuan Renminbi

The Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY/RMB) is the official currency of the People's Republic of China and the fifth largest world reserve currency. The People's Bank of China manages the yuan under a managed floating exchange rate system, setting a daily midpoint rate and allowing the currency to trade within a narrow band. As China's global trade influence has grown, the yuan has been included in the IMF's Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket since 2016. CNY (yuan, used internationally) and RMB (renminbi, used domestically) refer to the same currency.
