RTRS:S.Africa's rand extends losses against dollar
JOHANNESBURG Nov 1 (Reuters) - South Africa's rand extended its losses against the dollar on Tuesday after a Greek call for a referendum on a bailout package raised worries that the euro zone debt crisis was far from over.
The rand was trading at 8.13 to the dollar at 1155 GMT, 2.46 percent weaker than Monday's New York close of 7.9370. It hit a session low of 8.1567, its weakest since Oct 21.
Government bonds followed suit, with the yield on the 2015 bond up 10 basis points to 6.695 percent and that on the 2026 issue climbing 16 basis points to 8.47 percent (Reporting by Phumza Macanda; Editing by Ed Cropley)
