It should remain in a 6.12 to 6.20 range.

Every person that has come in this morning has been talking about the cricket. It's all that matters at the moment.

It's a terrible number but typical at the start of the year when you get a replenishment of inventories which boosts imports. But we are also still seeing the affects of the strong rand.

There is a socially responsible reason for wanting to redistribute land and foreigners may be purchasing land in rural areas where the government wants to redistribute.

The underlying fundamentals for both gold and platinum remain strong, which should keep prices relatively buoyant.

The rand is coming under a bit of pressure on the back of very strong retail sales data out of the US, but I'm not expecting it to weaken too much further given that the Budget tomorrow is taking centre stage with the locals. It should remain in a 6.12 to 6.20 range.
