Investors shrugged off US stimulus package concerns amid signs of possible Brexit deal

The JSE advanced for the first session in four and the rand strengthened as investors weighed the US pandemic relief package passed by Congress on Monday night possibly being scuppered with signs of progress in Brexit talks.

Markets were initially edgy on concerns that Trump may refuse to sign the stimulus package into legislation but later shrugged off these concerns amid renewed hope of an imminent Brexit deal between the UK and the EU. Fitch Ratings upgraded the national long-term ratings of SA’s five largest banks by assets to AA+ from AA , saying their creditworthiness had improved.

The rand traded at R14.57/$ at 5.15pm, R17.80/€ and R19.73/£. The dollar retreated against most of its developed nation counterparts.
