The rand fell on Wednesday after a surprise interest rate cut by the central bank, while broader emerging market risk assets retreated.

The bank also signalled more action to support the economy, which it now sees shrinking by about 6 percent in 2020 due to added disruptions from the virus. South African stocks fell 2.8 percent.

Broader emerging markets were also on the backfoot, with the MSCI's stock index shedding about 0.5 percent, while currencies fell 0.2 percent.Investors were cautiously looking to the possible opening up of major economies, given that virus cases were seen peaking in the United States and Europe.

Theu even said publicly that they were going to do it. Why is eNCA surprised.

Wooooow shocker

Apart from the sad fact that most traders are dangerously inept, the poor forward guidance from the Central Bank is the basis for this overaction.

Shuu

But the entire world is talking about the negative impact of economy, why then do we have to worry while no exchange of foreign trading? We are in a crisis currently and we need to focus on that.
