PPC shares fall
Shares of South Africa's Pretoria Portland Cement fall 1.7 percent to 23.25 rand, under performing a 0.8 percent firmer All-share index.

The company also says pricing environment remains competitive and it continues to battle higher input costs.
PPC says it will report full-year results on or around Nov. 8.
