The JSE closed slightly weaker on the day, with banks faring worst, while food producer Libstar lost ground on disappointing interim results

The rand weakened along with other emerging-market currencies on Wednesday as the euro pulled back from recent highs on comments from the European Central Bank .

The ECB’s chief economist Philip Lane caused investors to hit the pause button on the recent run-up in the value of the euro after he said that the exchange rate “does matter” for monetary policy. This comes after the euro briefly rose above $1.2 to the dollar for the first time in more than two years, pushing the price of imports from the region higher.
