JSE closes lower as trade war optimism fades

The JSE closed lower on Monday, in line with European stocks after reports that China wants to conduct another round of trade talks before signing a partial agreement with the US.

“The ‘phase 1’ deal did not really address the most sensitive issues in the trade dispute, especially technology transfer, intellectual property theft and currency manipulation,” FXTM market strategist Hussein Sayed said in a note. Earlier, the Shanghai Composite rose 1.15% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng 0.81% while Japan’s Nikkei 225 was closed for a public holiday.

The benchmark R186 government bond was stronger, with the yield falling one basis point to 8.22%. Bond prices move inversely to bond yields.
