SOUTH African bonds were marginally weaker at midday on Wednesday as the rand tracked the slightly softer euro against the dollar. There is little activity in the fixed income market ahead of the festive season as many market players are already on leave. At 11.41am, the benchmark R186 was bid at 9.460% and offered at 9.440% from Wednesday’s close of 9.430%. The middle-dated R207 was bid at 8.950% and offered at 8.900% from 8.885% previously.
