The FED held, AGAIN. 3 dissenters itching to HIKE while the Iran war keeps inflation STICKY. Wall Street sulked, the Dow shedding 800-odd points. Oil COOLED off its July spike, but not before the damage was done: MZANSI now braces for a likely August fuel hike even as Brent slips back toward USD87. So the pattern HOLDS. Central banks wait, the pump bites, and the smart move stays the BORING one. Do NOTHING rash to a sound allocation just because a headline twitched.
DOUBLE rescue.
PANAMA project.
GARMENT desert..
