JOHANNESBURG – The rand dipped on Tuesday, ahead of gross domestic product data that is expected to show a weak third-quarter performance.Investec economist Kamilla Kaplan said high frequency economic indicators suggested that the momentum in economic activity waned in this year's 3rd quarter, with GDP forecast to have moderated to 0.0 percent quarter on quarter seasonally adjusted annualised from 3.1 percent quarter on quarter seasonally adjusted annualised in the 2nd quarter.

"For the year as a whole, GDP growth is widely expected to come in at around 0.5 percent year on year after the economy recorded growth of just 0.8 percent year on year in 2018," said Kaplan.
