Investors are firmly focused on the Fed, the ECB and the Bank of England while the US earnings season isn’t playing out as hoped

The JSE closed weaker on Tuesday as investors opted for caution ahead of several key central bank interest rate announcements and mulled over further corporate earnings reports.

Still, the all share finished the first month of the year 8.8% higher, buoyed by gains in industrials, industrial metals, retailers and resources, which have risen 12.6%, 9.5%, 8.6% and 7.1%, respectively. ..A subscription helps you enjoy the best of our business content every day along with benefits such as articles from our international business news partners; ProfileData financial data; and digital access to the Sunday Times and TimesLive Premium.
