JOHANNESBURG Dec 20 (Reuters) – South Africa’s rand
strengthened to a near-week high against the dollar on Tuesday,
taking its cue mainly from a firmer euro in thin trading as the
year draws to a close.
The rand was at 8.2675 to the dollar at 1301 GMT
after briefly touching 8.2636 earlier, its strongest level since
Dec. 13 according to Reuters data.
