Local and international data on the day was positive, but BHP and Kumba Iron Ore slump, the former after a downbeat production report

The JSE was little changed on Wednesday, as losses by mining stocks offset gains in most other indices.

Diversified miner BHP fell 3.03% to R339.48, having said earlier it had lowered its production forecasts for iron ore, as it grapples with a hurricane that hit Western Australia in March. Locally, inflation came in better than expected, rising only 4.5% in March year-on-year compared with the 4.6% expected by the market.

Rand hedge AB InBev fell 1.09% to R1,243.32 and British American Tobacco 1.29% to R566.70. Richemont added 1.96% to R104.66. Mediclinic gained 5.53% to R59.52. It said earlier that in constant currency terms group revenue had risen 3.5% in the year to end-March.

Local market indicators shrug off bad news – for now | Business | M&GCOMMENT: As fast as we throw billions Eskom’s way to keep the diesel generators running, it presents new bills of even more billions it wants from us. It will now only be okay if it can somehow reduce its R420-billion debt by R250-billion or so.
