SA YIELDS ON 2-WEEK HIGH, RAND SLIPS (Business Report, 23/7/2013)
South African bonds fell, driving yields to the highest in almost two weeks, before a report that may show inflation in the
country accelerated in June. The rand weakened, erasing an earlier gain. The consumer price index rose 5.8 percent last
month, compared with a 5.6 percent increase in May, a report tomorrow may show, according to the median estimate of
19 economists in Bloomberg survey.
