USDZAR View!!South Africa's rand softened on Wednesday, ahead of the closely watched minutes from the Federal Reserve's September meeting. At 1554 GMT, the rand traded at 17.6425 against the dollar USDZAR , about 0.3% weaker than its previous close. The dollar index DXY last traded up about 0.3% against a basket of currencies. "Dollar strength of late can be attributed to stronger economic data out of the region which is dimming the outlook of further outsized rate cuts this year in the world's largest economy," said Shaun Murison, senior market analyst at IG.

USDZAR Technical Analysis UpdateI've applied a Fibonacci retracement to the strong bearish momentum on the USDZAR pair. The Fibonacci levels are acting as resistance, or what I like to call the "defense lines." Currently, the price is hovering around the final bearish defense line. If this level is broken, I anticipate the price moving higher towards the next resistance at USDZAR 18.000.

By 1512 GMT, the rand USDZAR traded about 0.3% firmer at 17.465 against the dollar. Since the start of the week, the local unit is down about 2%.
