The South Africa rand traded at 16.1225 against the United States dollar on Monday morning, pressured by a stronger currency and falling commodity prices. The move reversed earlier weekly gains toward 15.90. Investors trimmed risk exposure after comments from Federal Reserve officials indicated further rate hikes may remain on the table to cool inflation.
