Consensus is for only a local currency downgrade, not a foreign currency downgrade which would mean junk.

November nonfarm payrolls +178K vs +180K expected

Highlights of the November 2016 US nonfarm payrolls report


Prior was 161K (revised to 142K)
Two month net revision -2k
Unemployment rate 4.6% vs 4.9% expected
Participation rate 62.7% vs 62.8% prior
Private payrolls 156K vs 142K prior
Manufacturing payrolls -4K vs -2K exp
Underemployment rate 9.3% vs 9.5%

Wages and inflation:

Average hourly earnings -0.1% vs +0.2% expected
Average hourly earnings 2.5% y/y vs 2.8% expected
Average weekly hours 34.4 vs 34.4 expected
That big miss in average hourly earnings takes the shine of a very good headline. There's a wing of the Fed (and of markets) that believes something has changed in the labor market and all that it can create is $10/hour jobs.

The kneejerk in the market has been to sell the US dollar.

Only local currency ratings downgraded by S&P - which rating is now one level above junk i.e same as the foreign currency rating.
'Good' news for now.

Whoopie. I took a gamble on that one. Now Z 783 must keep his mouth zipped.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

I see Angelique de Rauville has resigned as acting CEO of Texton but has now also resigned from all board positions - Nic Morris is now confirmed as the new CEO. Some on this forum follow Texton and have invested in the company. Was this a palace revolt, as I thought that she started this company many years back - could be mistaken. Can anybody who knows, clear up what happened here, she has family that operate other companies as far as I know

Could be wrong, but thought she was at Investec before this - so do not think she started it. Always thought it was a temporary post - so not shocked, but thought she was doing a decent job. I do not really think  CEO's of REITs though are as important as normal companies CEO's.

Agreed, the actual properties are much more important than the CEO. A CEO can be replaced, hopefully the properties are decent enough.

South Africa's gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate was 0,2% in the third quarter of 2016.
The revised GDP growth figure Statistics SA recorded year-on-year for the third quarter was 0.7%.
