South Africa's rand hit a fresh 10-month high on Thursday as progress on a US fiscal stimulus deal and a pledge by the Federal Reserve to keep rates low until an economic recovery is secure boosted risk appetite. At 0600 GMT, the rand traded at 14.7950 against the U.S. dollar, 0.15% firmer than its previous close. It was trading at its strongest since February 12.
