The South African rand traded higher against the US dollar after the South Africa's central bank announced its key interest rate remained unchanged for the seventh consecutive session in early trading on Thursday.

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the South African Reserve Bank kept the repurchase rate steady at 5.5 percent. The decision was in line with economists expectations.

The rand climbed to more than a 2-month high of 7.8985 versus the greenback in today's mid-day deals from yesterday's closing value of 7.9575.
