what happened
Foreign investors were net buyers of South African stocks worth 4.12 billion rand (about $250.78 million) last week, according to Johannesburg Stock Exchange data released on Monday.
Net bond purchases came to 479.35 million rand, based on settlement data. The exchange rate cited was $1 to 16.4289 rand.
why it matters
Net inflows from offshore investors into South African equities and bonds support the rand and point to continued foreign interest in local assets. The one-week volume is modest, so the signal is more about demand than a major shift.
