The South African rand edged up on Monday to about 16.64 per dollar, roughly 0.4% stronger. Manufacturing sentiment improved for a second month in October, though the gain was marginal, and new vehicle sales rose 10.4% year-on-year.
A firmer rand lowers the local-currency cost of imported feed inputs such as soybean meal and corn for South African buyers. The move is small and driven by domestic data rather than grain supply, so the effect on feed prices is limited.
