•The U.S. dollar index was firmer against a basket of currencies as renewed U.S.-Iran hostilities fuelled inflation worries..
• Like other risk-sensitive currencies, the rand tends to take its cues from global developments, including U.S. and domestic economic data and policy signals.
• Immediate resistance is located at 16.194(38.2%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 16.400(50%fib).
