Rand drops on current account concern
The South African Rand depreciated by 0.9% to 9.1282 per the U.S. Dollar in the end of Johannesburg trading session on Monday. The Rand is one of the worst performers among emerging market currencies, as labour disputes threaten mining industry and thereby exports of coal. As a result, current account deficit may widen further.
