Rand steady against US dollar
Johannesburg – The rand was steady with a weaker bias against the dollar early on Thursday, in line with a stable euro while investors awaited key global and domestic data.
South Africa’s currency was at 10.2760/dollar at 08:43 SA time, from a 10.2630 close in New York on Wednesday.
Investors are bracing for a European Central Bank rates decision later on Thursday and US initial jobless claims and economic growth data.
After that, US jobs numbers on Friday will be next in focus.
