S.African stocks fall led by Kumba, bonds gain

By Tiisetso Motsoeneng and Vuyani Ndaba

South African stocks fell on Monday, in line with global equities, with miner Kumba the worst performer among blue chips as the deadline passed for investors to receive its next dividend payout.

Government bonds firmed due to a sell-off in the equity market as worries about Japan's earthquake increased risk aversion from global companies and drove investors to bonds instead.

Johannesburg's Top-40 blue-chip index dropped 1.02 percent to 27,784.85 points and the broader All-share index fell 0.95 percent to 30,878.58.

"Japan is the new issue on the radar screen right now," said Imara SP Reid's trader Garth McKenzie, adding that the earthquake in the world's third-largest economy could hit commodity prices in the short-term and possibly stall global economic recovery.

Johannesburg's index was also weighed by the "ex-dividend effect" as shares of companies such as Kumba Iron Ore, Growthpoint and Shoprite started trading without the rights to their next dividend payouts.

Ore miner Kumba slumped 6.3 percent to 429.05 rand, property group Growthpoint lost 4.65 percent to 16.50 and grocer retailer Shoprite gave up 2.99 percent to 95 rand.

In the news, JD Group slumped 4.91 percent to 44 rand after the furniture retailer said it would issue new shares to buy the domestic retail unit of rival Steinhoff, whose shares ended little changed.

The heightened risk aversion in equity markets pushed investors to safer bets such as government debt.

Yields pushed lower with that on the shorter-dated 2015 paper falling 4.5 basis points to 7.835 percent and that on the 2026 notes down just 1.5 basis points to 8.985 percent.

"There might be a bit of a portfolio shift from equities into bonds in the aftermath of the earthquake," said Ion de Vleeschauwer, chief dealer at Bidvest Bank.

"Companies will struggle a tad, globally especially, there could be production issues from companies in Japan."

Analysts said the shorter end of the curve was also well supported by interbank trading.

On the currency front, the rand also gained slightly against the dollar on the day. The local currency was 0.3 percent firmer at 6.8613 against the dollar as of 1542 GMT. It closed at 6.8820 in New York on Friday.

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan criticised the impact of hot capital flows into the country.

"We've observed that we have hot capital flows. That's not good because it appreciates your currency. What it does is it creates volatility in flows and economic instability," Gordhan said at an investment professionals' conference in Johannesburg.

The currency has appreciated 28 percent since the beginning of 2009, partly due to increased capital flows seeking higher yield in emerging markets like South Africa, in the wake of accommodative monetary policy in developed nations.
