S.Africa's rand ends weaker, bond market cautious for next week

By Xola Potelwa and Mmathabo Tladi

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The rand fell one percent against the dollar and ended the week at its lowest in two months as investors booked out of risky positions going into the weekend, while bonds were nearly unchanged as dealers tried to neutralise positions for next week's key inflation data and a repo rate decision.

Stocks ended a see-saw session slightly higher, led by Harmony and Truworths after the two companies issued upbeat trading updates while BHP Billiton dropped after unveiling a Petrohawk deal.

The rand gave up 1.2 percent to 6.92 on the day, off a New York close of 6.8380.

"We remain in a risk-off environment. There is a fairly negative undertone, the market doesn't want to go in the weekend holding any risk and hence we've seen a bit of a sell-off in the local currency," said Duncan Howes, a forex trader at Absa Capital.

The currency is likely to try a retest of support at 6.95 against the dollar but until that is breached it should stay below the big 7.0 level.

"For us 6.95 remains key, a break above there could trigger a move up into the 7.05/7.10 area," Duncan Howes added.

The debt market saw thin trade as dealers squared their books for the weekend and wanted neutral positions going into next week's key data.

Yields on the benchmark 2015 government bond ended just one basis point higher at 7.48 percent on Friday.

The market has priced in a no change in the repo rate on Thursday while inflation for June is expected to have quickened.

"Very thin, very quiet on the bond market today with no events. I think all the positioning now is that guys squared their books up so they can go into the data more neutral next week," said a local bond dealer.

HARMONY LED STOCKS HIGHER

The JSE Top-40 blue chip index was 0.24 percent firmer at 28,915.93 and the broader All-share index was up 0.26 at 32,288.43

Traders said next week's reporting season would shed light on the market's medium-term direction.

"Reporting season starts properly next week, people will watch what is going on," said Malcom Moller a trader at Vunani Ltd.

Among equity movers, Harmony was 3.18 percent higher at 98.68 rand after the gold miner said quarterly production likely rose 3 percent.

Truworths added 2.21 percent to 74.10 rand after the clothing retailer said full-year profit likely increased as much as 22 percent.

On the flipside, BHP Billiton gave up 1.24 percent to 260.20 rand on concerns that it may be paying too much for shale gas producer Petrohawk.

Mondi was down 3 percent at 55.62 rand on worries about its growth prospects after the paper maker spun off and separately listed its packaging business.
