I don't get why resources are up today. Not gold, resource counters like BHP, ANG, etc. Trump's protectionist policies, plans to impose heavy tariffs on China etc. will all tend to crimp world trade and therefore growth, which means less mineral exports from ZA. The weaker Rand does not seem to be the main reason, as all the resource counters listed in the UK are also up substantially (£/$) practically no change from yesterday. Coal I can understand as Trump wants to move away from renewables in favour of coal, but that's about all I can think of as a reason.

OK, think I've got hold of the main reason for uplift in resources. Trump wants to 'rebuild American cities' - huge infrastructure spend = good for minerals/metals - may outweigh the negatives mentioned earlier.

I agree Moonraker, that's most likely it. I like how you won't drop anything until you understand it!

Kinda disappointed that shares didn't fall more.
Why - my shares were devalued by R 102,000 on opening this morning and the Rand pulled back all of 44 cents
Well that was 2 days of most interesting share price movements
So have recovered all my paper losses and things look like they are back to normal - if that's possible these days

Probably because rate increase in US now more likely. Check T Bonds.

Yes. Patrick, your answer is here. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-09/pimco-joins-bond-traders-seeing-fast-tracked-fed-after-trump-win

EDIT: which of course results in a stronger $ on the crosses.

A catch 22 situation. The cronies Z has placed in the top echelons of the party will want Z in place so they can keep dipping into the cookie jar. They have the majority vote and will win in every vote. The state capture is done and cannot be reversed with the current NEC wolves.
The vote today seemed to be all about the white DA hiding behind a black mask than about Z.

Rand getting stronger today. Co-incidently my office changed their working rate to R14.37 today. Unfortunately half my salary will now get converted to dollars at that rate in around 10 days time...
