South Africa’s rand firmed against the dollar on Monday, as investors continued to assess risks to the economy from tighter U.S. monetary policy following the Federal Reserve’s biggest interest rate increase in a quarter of a century.
Overall on the JSE, the All-Share index rose 1.47% to 66,350 points while the Top-40 index closed 1.68% higher at 60,074 points.
GLOBAL MARKETS
Asian stocks and U.S. share futures turned higher on Tuesday as the market took stock after a recent steep selloff, but concerns remain that aggressive central bank rate hikes to curtail inflation could spark a global recession.
GOLD
Gold prices were flat on Tuesday as investors kept a keen eye on major central banks’ stance on interest-rate hikes to get a clearer outlook for bullion.
