USD/ZAR has edged higher, as the dust settles after President Ramaphosa's SONA. The rate last changes hands at ZAR17.7800, up ~420 pips on the day, struggling to break above weekly highs. A clearance of Feb 8 high of ZAR17.8276 would expose Dec 1 high of ZAR17.9596. Conversely, bears see Feb 2 low of ZAR16.9317 as their initial target.
- The BBG Commodity Index has added ~0.5% so far as the broader commodity complex firms. However, gains have been driven chiefly by energy resources, while the precious metals subindex is on the defensive.
