JOHANNESBURG - The rand strengthened on Wednesday as hopes of a trade deal between the United States and China bolstered risk appetite globally, while stocks also strengthened in line with global market optimism.
Demand for emerging-market currencies grew after the Financial Times reported China and the US had resolved most of the issues standing in the way of a trade deal. The rand was hovering close to a one-month high of 14.0750 reached on Tuesday after Moody’s struck a surprisingly positive note in a credit opinion, following the agency’s decision on Friday to delay a review that might have removed South Africa’s last investment-grade rating.
“It’s all up, it’s up by 800 points. If there’s a deal, people that will benefit are the emerging markets,” said Greg Davies, an equities trader at Cratos Capital.
