Credit Suisse lowered its forecasts for the South African rand, arguing that upside is limited as the current account surplus narrows and repatriation flows and carry support fade.

Credit Suisse also cited improved fiscal sentiment.
A weaker rand outlook raises the expected cost of imported feed ingredients for South African buyers. The forecast is a currency view rather than a direct commodity driver.
