Oil remains above USD100, gold remains elevated, and the ZAR has clawed back some ground. Markets are navigating geopolitical tension, inflation concerns and slowing growth while searching for certainty in an uncertain world. Closer to home, MZANSI’s political landscape continues to SHIFT. The GNU remains a work in progress as coalition partners test boundaries and priorities evolve. The country’s largest political party continues balancing reform ambitions against political realities. Democracies are noisy, but markets adapt. Focus less on the daily REVELATIONS and more on whether the long-term trajectory points to growth, fiscal discipline and delivery. The lesson remains unchanged: headlines CHANGE, narratives CHANGE, but long-term success is built on patience and discipline. Stay INVESTED. Do NOTHING reactive.
