South African Assets Trim Losses On Fresh Election Projection

ZAR

USD/ZAR has now cut the bulk of earlier gains and last trades at 18.6004 (vs. earlier high of 18.7639), seemingly in reaction to a fresh projection from eNCA, who said that the ANC could garner around 45% of the vote. This is higher than the 42% predicted by the CSIR this morning and implies that the ANC might be able to form a coalition with smaller parties. SAGBs have moved away from worst levels.
