Reading a JSE share price: cents, rand and change
A JSE price on a broker's screen is in cents. The same price in rand is that figure divided by 100. This page shows the conversion with the closes on this board, and explains the change column.

The change
The change is the close against the previous close, as the board prints it. A change of +2.00% on a close of 10 000c means the previous close was about 9 804c. The previous close is worked out, not read, and the page says so.

Questions about reading a price
Why are prices in cents?
It is the JSE's convention; divide by 100 for rand.
Is the previous close read from the exchange?
No. It is worked out from the change the board prints; there is one source.
Is the close a live price?
No. It is the last price after the session.
Why no chart?
The source of daily bars did not answer on the day of reading.
A price contract, not a share
The account this site links to offers contracts for difference on global shares and indices. That is not the same as buying a share through a local broker and depository. Read the terms before opening one.
