South African rand drops as power cuts continue

(Reuters) - South Africa's rand dropped back on Tuesday, losing ground won
earlier in the week, as damaging local power cuts were scheduled to continue
until the weekend and investors awaited key U.S. inflation data to gauge the
Federal Reserve's next move.

 

At 1517 GMT, the rand ZAR=D3 traded at 15.0650 against the dollar, just over
1% lower than its previous close of 14.9150.

 

Andre de Ruyter, CEO of struggling state utility Eskom, said lengthy power
cuts were set to be reduced gradually throughout the week, ending only on
Saturday.

 

Investors are waiting for U.S. inflation data due on Wednesday, when a
strong reading could reignite talk of the Fed raising interest rates sooner
than expected.

 

 

Local investors will also be watching finance minister Enoch Godongwana's
maiden Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) expected on Thursday,
outlining estimated budget deficits and economic growth forecast over the
next three years.

 

Government bonds strengthened, with the yield on the benchmark instrument
due in 2030 dropping 15 basis points to 9.27%.

 

Meanwhile, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange dipped, with its Top-40 Index
.JTOPI slipping 0.12% to 61,247 points and the broader All-Share Index
.JALSH losing 0.1% to 67,983 points.

 

Shares in telecoms firm Telkom TLKJ.J closed over 12% lower after the
company reported weaker than expected results at its mobile business.

 

 

 

Nigeria

 

Naira losses at official market

Naira fell further against the U.S. dollar at the official market on
Tuesday, after the currency witnessed a significant loss at the market
segment in the previous session on Monday.

 

The local unit exchanged hands with the foreign currency at N415.07 to a
dollar on Tuesday, data from FMDQ securities exchange windows where forex is
officially traded showed.

 

The performance of the domestic currency on Tuesday represents a N0.52 or
0.13 per cent depreciation from N414.55 it exchanged in the previous session
on Monday.

 

Naira which opened at N413.57 to a dollar experienced an intraday high of
N404.00 and a low of N444.00, before closing at N415.07 to a dollar on
Tuesday, recording a foreign exchange turnover of $92.38 million.

 

At the black market in Uyo, dealers said they exchanged the currency at
N545.00 and sold at N550.00 to a dollar on Tuesday, while at Abuja, dealers
exchanged the naira at N552.00 and sold at N555.00 to a dollar on Tuesday.

 

The spread between both markets (official and unofficial) is pegged at
N136.93 (N552) or 129.93 (N545), leaving a margin of 23.54 or 23.84 per cent
at the close of business on Tuesday.

Dollar dips before U.S. inflation data

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar index dipped in choppy trading on Tuesday as
investors awaited data on Wednesday that will be the next major indicator of
whether rising price pressures are accelerating.

 

U.S. producer prices increased solidly in October, data showed on Tuesday,
indicating that high inflation could persist for a while amid tight supply
chains related to the pandemic.

 

But traders were holding back on big moves ahead of consumer price index
data due on Wednesday morning.

 

Economists polled by Reuters see monthly CPI accelerating to 0.4% from the
previous month's 0.2% rise, with the closely watched year-on-year core
measure gaining 0.3 percentage point to 4.3%, well above the Fed's average
annual 2% inflation target.

 

Fed officials on Tuesday said it is not clear that high inflation will
become more entrenched than previously expected.

 

San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said it will be mid-2022 before there
is more clarity on the employment and inflation outlook and Minneapolis Fed
President Neel Kashkari said he believes the forces that are currently
keeping people out of the labor market and pushing up prices will prove to
be temporary.

 

The dollar index dipped 0.11% to 92.948 while the euro gained 0.07% to
$1.1594.

 

Elsewhere, the yen reached a one-month high of 112.73 against the greenback
and last traded at 112.83.

 

Sterling, hammered last week in the wake of the Bank of England's surprise
decision to keep rates on hold, was little changed on the day at $1.3561.

 

The New Zealand dollar dipped 0.51% to $0.7132 after jumping on Monday. It
has been drawing support from expectations that the Reserve Bank of New
Zealand could raise rates by as much as 50 basis points later this month.

 

The risk-sensitive Australian dollar dropped 0.60% to trade at $0.7378.

 

Bitcoin rose to a record $68,564 before reversing course. It was last down
1.15% at $66,791. Ether hit a record high of $4,843.

Gold tracks dollar in choppy session; U.S. inflation data awaited

(Reuters) - Gold prices climbed to their highest level since early September
on Tuesday in tandem with a softer dollar, as investors awaited U.S.
inflation data scheduled for later in the week.

 

Spot gold rose 0.3% to $1,828.74 per ounce by 13:44 p.m. ET (1844 GMT),
having earlier recorded its highest since Sept. 3 at $1,831.10.

 

U.S. gold futures settled 0.2% higher at $1,830.80.

 

The U.S. dollar, which gold has been tracking through the session, inched
lower against its rivals, making the bullion less expensive for holders of
other currencies.

 

Key central banks last week indicated interest rates would remain low in the
near term, boosting the appeal of non-yielding gold and helping the metal
post its best week since late August.

 

 

However, a tight U.S. labour market and the dislocation in global supply
chains could result in a high reading for U.S. consumer prices due on
Wednesday.

 

Also buoying gold, yields on the 10-year Treasury notes slipped to 1.4271%.

 

Elsewhere, spot silver declined 0.8% to $24.25 per ounce, platinum slipped
0.1% to $1,054.64 and palladium fell 2.4% to $2,021.35.
