USDZAR is the price of one USD in ZAR. USD is the base currency and ZAR is the quote currency, so the price tells you how many ZAR one USD costs. ### Why is my broker's USDZAR price different? Each broker quotes its own bid and ask from its own liquidity providers, so prices can differ a little from broker to broker. The prices here are indicative bid quotes. Spreads also widen around big news and when the market opens. ### When does USDZAR trade? USDZAR trades 24 hours a day, five days a week, from 17:00 New York time on Sunday to 17:00 New York time on Friday. It is busiest when London and New York are both open, roughly 12:00 to 16:00 UTC. ### How much is one lot of USDZAR? On most brokers one standard lot of USDZAR is 100,000 USD, so a one pip move (0.0001) is worth 10.00 ZAR a lot, and 0.01 lots moves 0.10 ZAR a pip. Check your broker's contract size before you trade. ### What moves the USDZAR price? Mostly what traders expect the Federal Reserve to do with interest rates, inflation and jobs data from both economies, and how much risk markets want to take. ## Markets traders watch with USDZAR [EURUSD Euro vs US dollar -0.13%](https://www.thedtterminal.com/markets/eurusd) [GBPUSD British pound vs US dollar +0.11%](https://www.thedtterminal.com/markets/gbpusd) [DXY US dollar index +0.03%](https://www.thedtterminal.com/markets/dxy) [XAUUSD Gold vs US dollar -3.60%](https://www.thedtterminal.com/markets/xauusd) --- Risk disclosure: Futures, forex and options trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor.
