Hi Tom on the commodities side, I definately feel that if int rates go up 100% >, then commodities prices will go south later this afternoon(with increased rand strengh). However, I dont think the rand will stregthen that much, as the dollar is still strong, hence possible R/$ weakness. Bit of a 50/50.... However, profitability of commodity shares (BIL, AGL, EXX, KIO) will still benefit from exports (with with rand weakness, if dollar strenght continues), which I doubt is going to happen. Thats my limited thoughts...could be wrong..
