The South African rand edged higher on Thursday, trading at 17.31 per dollar, about 0.2% stronger than its previous close. Risk appetite improved after recent US and South African rate cuts, and the rand has hit repeated 20-month highs this week.
A firmer rand raises the rand cost of dollar-priced imports such as feed ingredients and fertilizer, and lowers the rand value of South African grain and oilseed exports.
