South African rand weaker on Trump's changing tariff stance - REUTERS

FEBRUARY 04, 2025

JOHANNESBURG, Feb 4 (Reuters) - South Africa's rand weakened early on Tuesday against a buoyant U.S. dollar as markets digested U.S. President Donald Trump's changing tariff stance.
At 0555 GMT, the rand traded at 18.79 against the dollar , about 0.4% lower than Monday's close. The dollar last traded about 0.3% firmer against a basket of currencies.
Trump on Monday suspended his threat of steep tariffs on Mexico and Canada, agreeing to a 30-day pause in return for concessions on border and crime enforcement with the two neighbouring countries.
