S.Africa's stocks snap losses, govt bonds weaken

By Gugulakhe Lourie and Stella Mapenzauswa

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African blue-chip stocks closed around 1.2 percent higher on Tuesday as telecoms, mining and banking shares rebounded.

The rand held steady against the dollar but government bonds retreated, giving up earlier gains after a well-supported weekly auction and as the market prices in higher domestic interest rates towards the end of the year due to rising inflation pressure.

The JSE Top-40 index of blue chips rose 1.22 percent to 28,610.18, reversing two days of losses, while the broader All-share index gained 1.09 percent to 31,718.01.

The rand traded 0.19 percent firmer at 6.8621 against the greenback at 1620 GMT compared with Monday's close at 6.8750.

"It's in quite a tight range, basically trading between 6.85/95. We're really just seeing a little bit of support from equities which is helping the rand slightly," said Nedbank trader Brigid Taylor.

"The rand has been a bit protected by the export market above 6.90 but once that starts to subside we should start to see it back at about 7.00 if not slightly higher. Our bond market is also under a little bit of pressure," Taylor added.

The yield on the benchmark 2015 note climbed 6.5 basis points to 7.825 percent while that on the longer-dated 2026 note added six basis points to 8.995 percent.

Government bonds reversed earlier gains after a weekly bond auction at which the Treasury sold 800 million rand worth of the 2018 note at a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.34 and 1.3 billion rand worth of the 2021 paper at a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.91.

On the bourse, Africa's largest mobile phone group MTN reversed Monday's losses to close at 136 rand, up 3.67 percent on the day and making it the biggest gainer among blue-chips.

Harmony Gold gained 2.74 percent to 99.61 rand after the miner said it had cut costs at its Hidden Valley mine in Papua New Guinea.

Gold Fields increased 2.55 percent to 117.25 rand and platinum producer Lonmin rose 1.66 percent to 186.20 rand.

In financials, Nedbank was up 1.99 percent to 139.11 rand and Standard Bank rose 2.57 percent to 102.36 rand.
