Harare- The Zimbabwe dollar weakened to ZWL308.5201, a 5.72% depreciation
from last week and also weakening faster than the interbank market. This is
in line with expectations that the Auction Rate will converge to Interbank
Rate as monetary authorities move in to eliminate multiple exchange rates.
On the Alternative Market, the local unit weakened traded at ZWL450-480 as
inflation fears stoked the demand for US$ coupled with inadequate supplies
of FX on the formal market. The rates had stabilised following earlier
interventions by Government and Monetary Authorities to stem the rapid
depreciation.

 

Monthly inflation has also gathered pace with May 2022 Month on Month
inflation coming in at 20.97% and Year On Year at 131.74% reflecting the
rapid collapse of the ZWL in the months of April and May on both the Auction
and Interbank Market as prices soared and confidence waning.

 

The ZSE appears to be bottoming out with buyers back on the market as the
hedging drive resumes.
