REUTERS/Mike Hutchings/Illustration Acquire Licensing RightsJOHANNESBURG, Sept 7 (Reuters) - The rand recovered some losses on Thursday after a consumer confidence index improved, although new data also showed that South Africa's current account deficit had widened. "Today's consumer confidence and current account figures beat estimates providing some encouragement in what has been a tough year for South Africa with the rand attempting to claw back some lost gains," said DailyFX analyst Warren Venketas. Central bank data earlier on Thursday showed South Africa's net foreign reserves fell to $55.444 billion by the end of August from $55.626 billion in July. South Africa's benchmark 2030 government bond was stronger, with the yield down 2.5 basis points to 10.385%.

☆ Pound heads for biggest weekly gain in six months

LONDON, June 2 (Reuters) - Sterling headed for its biggest one-week rally against the dollar in six months on Friday, as U.S. interest rates looked increasingly likely to plateau sooner than UK rates. The pound has gained 1.5% against the dollar this week, the most since early December, and nearly 1.1% against the euro - which would be its largest weekly increase in nearly four months. Meanwhile, as UK inflation remains stubbornly high, traders have reassessed the outlook for monetary policy in Britain too. Money markets show markets are pricing for UK rates to peak at 5.32% by year-end, up from 4.50% now. A month ago, the expectation was that UK rates would be around 4.80% by December.

☆ South African rand hits new low amid dollar strength, poor outlook
  + stars: | 2023-05-30 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
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.
