South Africaâs main stocks index was poised to halt a four-week rally that saw it post eight record closes since the start of the year and was headed for its first weekly drop of 2021.
The FTSE/JSE Africa All Share Index fell 1.4% as of 10:04 a.m. in Johannesburg, dropping for a third day this week, as weakness in miners and banks overwhelmed gains in index heavyweights Naspers and Sasol.
