Continued issues with Yahoo Finance data for JSE stocks
I am not sure what has happened to the Yahoo Finance data but it has become very unreliable over the last 3 months to the point where I am no longer going to use the data.
The denominations of price data are inconsistent in cents and rands. I thought this was limited to microcap stocks so I overlooked it. But, it's happening with mega-cap stocks too. I can't understand how this is not fixable as it's a simple problem.

This is runs across many stocks and many days, not just these ones.
Disappointing as it makes the service unusable.

The same applies to LSE as well. Price data are inconsistent in pence and pound...
The chart is useless now.
