The local currency was by far the worst performing among emerging-market currencies on Tuesday, driven by global and domestic events

The local currency was by far the worst-performing among emerging-market currencies on Tuesday, driven by global and domestic eventsThe JSE closed lower on Tuesday and remains on track for its worst month in more than 10 years.

The rand was by far the worst-performing among emerging-market currencies on Tuesday, with its depreciation driven by global and domestic events with the US-China trade war still the major catalyst. Locally, the unfolding political events leading up to the announcement of cabinet ministers have weighed on the rand. These include the swearing-in of ANC deputy president David Mabuza as an MP and the delay in the announcement of the new cabinet. Markets are closely watching the appointments as there is speculation that President Cyril Ramaphosa may re-appoint some individuals seen as compromised.

FirstRand fell 3.9% to R61.79, Standard Bank 2.01% to R189.04, Absa 1.74% to R158.35, and Nedbank 2.52% to R242.48. Cartrack leapt 14.84% to R17.80, after reporting that its total revenue grew 28% to R1.69bn for the year to end-February.
