Manufacturing PMI yesterday better than expected for China, Germany, SA (strike recovery) & US.
Yes, you know this by now, better economic data equals stimulus retraction equals fear. US ended -0.48%, -0.36% & -0.27% with gold sliding, currently trading $1222, crude @ 110, SAT40 @ -222, Asia mixed.
US futures @ 8:20am -0.08%, +0.40%, +0.05% and in Europe Ftse -0.27% (@8:20 am.)
New highs for Curro, Naspers & Nampak yesterday.
No major economic reporting for today.
On a personal note, this is my last day of trading, so posting from my side will be sporadic at best.
I'll catch up with you from time to time, have a lekker holiday, be safe but above all: have fun!

SAT40 up 516 points yesterday with Angloplat +4.7% and AGL +3.41%.
New high Brait, Richemont.
I see GLN 5166, so I guess it had a good run yesterday? Don't think there is a good reason for them being down since listing, was just bad timing i.e. sector being down, a good solid company imo.
3 Good's in one sentence, its all good then.
