Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The South African unit garnered support from strong risk-on sentiment, rising in tandem with a range of emerging market currencies as the dollar retreated according to NKC Research.<\/p>\n

The global economic calendar this week will be dominated by today\u2019s FOMC policy meeting announcement, with markets looking toward Chairman Powell\u2019s press conference for forward guidance.<\/p>\n

While NKC Research expects Powell to present a more optimistic outlook, it will likely be tempered with caution regarding elevated short-term risks (as the worsening pandemic and the slow initial rollout of the vaccines is restraining activity) with an emphasis on very dovish forward guidance.<\/p>\n

Extending the forecast horizon, inflation is expected to accelerate to a sustainable 2 percent pace and the labour market to be at full employment by 2023, thereby satisfying the conditions for rate lift-off by that time. A gradual tapering of QE asset purchases should precede this, starting in 2022.<\/p>\n

At the close of local trade, the rand quoted 1.14 percent stronger at R15.08\/$, after trading in range of R15.05\/$ – R15.37\/$. The rand traded steady overnight. Expected range today R14.90\/$ – R15.30\/$.<\/p>\n

South African bourse<\/b><\/p>\n

The JSE All Share (-0.99 percent) ended deep in negative territory on Tuesday as large technology (-4.94 percent) and industrial (-2.21 percent) stocks pulled the bourse lower. In the overall emerging market sphere, the MSCI Emerging Market Index (-0.83 percent) traded weaker.<\/p>\n

Brent crude oil<\/b><\/p>\n

The Brent oil price rose close to a 11-month peak yesterday as European stock markets climbed higher and following reports of a blast in Saudi Arabia. At the close of local trade, benchmark Brent crude futures quoted 0.86 percent firmer at $56.01pb. Crude prices remained on the front foot during Asian trade this morning.<\/p>\n
