SA factory mood deteriorates on weaker demand, output
A gauge measuring manufacturing sentiment in South Africa fell to the lowest level in more than two years because of weaker demand and constrained production.

"On the domestic front, restrictive borrowing costs and perhaps also the sharp fuel price hikes at the start of September weighed on demand." Factory output also took a knock because of increased and more intense power outages in September.
