MARKET WRAP: JSE closes higher despite rand slump

The JSE closed higher on Wednesday, getting a boost from global markets, as speculation grows that the US Federal Reserve may soon cut interest rates to boost the US economy.

US Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell indicated on Tuesday that the Fed is closely watching the trade negotiations between the US and China, which have been blamed for slowing global economic growth. He added that the Fed will “act appropriately” to ensure growth continues. The all share rose 1.01% to 57,073.4 points and the top 40 1.04%. Gold mining led gains, up 4.44%, followed by the platinum index which climbed 3.31%. Resources and industrials gained 1.53% and 1.01%, respectively.

The bet that Jarana can fix SAA is still on: Free Market FoundationLouw said in June 2018 that he was willing to wager R100‚000 that VuyaniJarana's three-year turnaround plan would not work and that by March 31 2021, Jarana’s stated timeframe, the airline would still not be profitable. Hats off to Jarana for confidence in his capabilities, that he took up Louw on the wager. The upside now is that charity or charities are about to receive a helping hand - thanks to his audacity.

Vuyani Jarana's plan to fix SAA was still bound to crash: Free Market FoundationFree Market Foundation executive director Leon Louw was adamant on Monday that a bet on a turnaround plan for SAA - under CEO Vuyani Jarana who resigned at the weekend - not working was still in place. For some reason I think given enough time Sibongile Sambo could help this SAA company as a CEO. Before any repairs can be done the damage and affected area's must be removed . Face facts, our S.O.E.'S are well and truly screwed. S.A. is f...ked. This will end up a GHOST COUNTRY.
