# JSE jumps as miners rally on weaker dollar and oil

> South African equities rallied on Thursday, with the all-share index up 3.67% at the close after an intraday gain of 5%. Precious metals and mining stocks gained 4.27% as hopes of an earlier end to the Iran war and the Democratic midterm victory lifted metals and pushed oil and the dollar lower.

## Why it matters

Expectations of an end to the Iran conflict are pulling crude and the dollar lower, which eases energy and freight costs for feed producers but mainly reflects broad financial-market sentiment rather than grain or feed supply.
