Markets await S&P Global PMI and the fuel price on Monday
Reuters via Engineering News and Polity reported the rand at 16.6825 early Monday as traders waited for the PMI data and the October fuel price adjustment. The Rio Times reported a reading after the window. DailyDrop does not report the result because it falls after the 05:00 cut-off.
The PMI is a fast read on the whole private sector, not only factories.
A weak reading would add to pressure on the rand and on interest rate expectations.
Check the result today; a number below 50 means contraction.
