• The USD/ZAR initially gained but reversed course on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump's latest remarks on tariffs added to trade war worries that had somewhat abated last week.
• Over the weekend, Trump announced 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports into the U.S., unsettling economies like Canada, Mexico, and Brazil that export steel to the U.S.
• This follows Trump’s initial tariff order on February 1, which included a one-month reprieve for Mexico and Canada after negotiations.
•At GMT 11:47, the pair was trading up 0.14 percent at 17.401
