The rand firmed against the dollar on Monday as the dollar traded lower on expectations that interest rate hikes would moderate. The rand traded at 17.82 per dollar, about 1.41% stronger than its previous close.
The dollar index was down about 0.6% at 111.56.
A stronger rand lowers the local cost of dollar-priced feed ingredients for South African buyers. The move reflects dollar sentiment on rate expectations and does not change grain or meal supplies.
