Details on Eskom’s bailout will be watched by markets, while an eye is also on the UK, which is set to get a new leader soon

The rand was a little weaker against the dollar on Tuesday morning, but firmer against the pound, as markets waited to see who will be the next prime minister of the UK.

Despite this, a Johnson victory could see the pound rally a little, as markets had extensively priced in a no-deal Brexit already, Johnson said. The announcement is expected at 12.45am local time.
