• Rising precious metal prices, a key South African export, have lifted the rand to its strongest level in over three years.

•Gold broke through $4,600 per ounce for the first time on Monday, while silver also hit a record high, as investors snapped up safe-haven assets due to heightened geopolitical uncertainties and a criminal probe into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
