The rand, South African stocks and government bonds gained on Monday as investors bet that the ANC would form a coalition with a market-friendly party after failing to win a majority. The assets had fallen the previous week on fears of a tie-up with more radical parties.
The rand traded at 18.6225 per dollar, up about 0.8%.
A stronger rand lowers the local cost of dollar-priced feed imports into South Africa. Global feed prices are not meaningfully affected.
