Thoughts on ZARUSD and the SA Election odds
Watching the $ZARUSD today, seeing it dip further after yesterday's churn, definitely makes me reconsider some of the Polymarket positions related to the South African election. The market's reaction to the coalition talks, or lack thereof, seems to be driving some serious short-term volatility in the rand.
I'm curious how others are viewing the implied probabilities on Polymarket for the ANC's various coalition outcomes. Are we seeing a genuine shift in sentiment reflected in the currency, or is this just noise around the edges as negotiations drag on? Trying to gauge if this is a good spot to add to certain outcomes or if we're heading for more uncertainty. It feels like the market's pricing in more risk than it was last week.
Yeah, the ZARUSD has been a wild ride. I'm also watching the Polymarket odds closely. It's tough to gauge the real impact of coalition talks until we see some concrete developments, and the market seems to be reacting to every little rumor.
