JOHANNESBURG, June 12 (Reuters) - The South African rand extended gains on Monday, building from the previous week, as investor sentiment towards Africa's most industrialised economy improved. At 1517 GMT, the rand traded at 18.5600 to the dollar, about 0.87% stronger than its closing level on Friday. South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected this week to travel to Russia and Ukraine for an Africa-led peace mission in an attempt to end the ongoing war. South Africa's sovereign dollar-denominated bonds also continued their June rally, with the 2044 maturity up and rising 1.153 cents at 1526 GMT to 73.017 cents in the dollar, according to Tradeweb data. South Africa's benchmark 2030 government bond was stronger, with the yield down 5.5 basis points to 10.765%.

JOHANNESBURG, May 30 (Reuters) - The South African rand hit a record low on Tuesday on the back of a strengthening dollar and souring local investor sentiment that has seen massive capital outflows from the country. At 1518 GMT, the rand traded at 19.690 against the dollar , about 0.09% weaker than its previous close. Greg Davies, head of wealth at asset manager Cratos Capital, said South Africa was now a less desirable investment destination for international investors due to the local power crisis. "We've had poor results coming from Tiger Brands and Pepkor; two companies closely followed by foreigners," said Casparus Treurnicht, analyst and portfolio manager at Gryphon Asset Management. Tiger Brands shares crashed by more than 16%, while major retailer Pepkor (PPHJ.J) lost over a tenth of its market value.
