Compare that to the 1973 embargo or the 1979 Iranian revolution — those removed 6 to 7%. This is categorically different."
On why the rand hasn't moved yet — and why that itself is the warning sign: "The Rand hasn't responded strongly to it yet, which ultimately means that it is a little vulnerable. Should the shock extend, the greater the likelihood that the Rand will come under some pressure."
And on South Africa's fuel supply specifically, Glynos raises an alarm few are talking about: "If we're not able to source that refined fuel from the Persian Gulf, then all of a sudden I think we're going to find ourselves in a more stressed environment — with vast implications for the economy. How mines run, how high-energy sectors run."
The verdict is stark: either this war ends quickly and the terms of trade recover — or the rand adjusts sharply to reflect the damage already done to South Africa's trade balance. There is, Glynos says, no third option. ]]> Investing Wed, 20 May 2026 16:47:00 +0200 0 0 George Glynos - The Rand's Reckoning 0 0 BizNews full 11:52 BizNews Radio https://iono.qa/e/1677895 https://iono.qa/e/1677895 Investing Wed, 20 May 2026 16:16:00 +0200 0 0 Accretiv doubles down on US industrial property | Webinar 0 0 BizNews full 42:30 BizNews Radio https://iono.qa/e/1677827 https://iono.qa/e/1677827 Investing Wed, 20 May 2026 14:35:00 +0200 0 0 Ray Hartley - BRICS loses its clout 0 0 BizNews full 7:54 BizNews Radio https://iono.qa/e/1677732 https://iono.qa/e/1677732 Investing Wed, 20 May 2026 11:39:00 +0200 0 0 SA businesses battered by infrastructure instability - Muhammad Ali 0 0 BizNews full 14:11 BizNews Radio https://iono.qa/e/1677568 https://iono.qa/e/1677568
