FxWirePro: USD/ZAR up trend gains momentum but hurdles ahead

• USD/ZAR strengthened on Monday as a broad commodity selloff weighed on emerging-market asset.


• Gold and platinum prices fell, weighing on the rand as South Africa is a major exporter of both metals.

•Gold prices fell sharply as signs of easing U.S.-China trade tensions added further pressure on the precious metals.

• The local currency also lost ground   because the U.S. dollar strengthened as investors sought safety.

• Immediate resistance is located at 16.288  (38.2%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 17.505 (Jan 19th high).

• Strong support is seen at 16.051 (Feb 5th low) and break below could take the pair towards 15.720(Lower BB).

Recommendation: Good to buy around 16.300 with stop loss of 16.100 and target price of 16.800
