JSE still experiencing intermittent network connectivity issues. 
Only telephonic trades going through, we're back in the dark ages.
By the way WTF means 'where's the fone?'

We are back to Eskom's precautionary measures. Translation: Publishing rolling blackout schedules & declaring a 'power emergency' yesterday after grid pressure and loss of some of its generating components.
And continuing with gloomy news I'm sorry to say: Unconfirmed sources indicating that Gauteng's e-tolling will start as soon as 2 Dec, will have clarity after this mornings news conference.
In the US, JP Morgan slammed with a humongous $13 Billion fine to assist home owners after irregularities back in 2008. To put it into perspective, BP's oil spill fine was $4B, Glaxosmithkline's was $3B. But Jamie Dimon has proofed himself to be a very tenacious leader, I don't think he is losing too much sleep over this, just another business day for him. 'You read constantly that banks are lobbying regulators and elected officials as if this is inappropriate. We don't look at it that way.' Jamie Dimon
US ended negative, Asia mostly negative atm, SAT40 -1 but trading usually quiet this time of morning due to high spreads, will only get direction 8:30.
Gold @ 1274$, WTI 94, US futures mixed.
Economic reporting today:
11:30 GB MPC Meeting Minutes
15:30 US Core CPI
15:30 US Retail Sales
17:00 US Existing Home Sales
21:00 FOMC Meeting Minutes (driving force for today)
New highs yesterday for Cargo, Sasfin & Steinhoff, new intra-day highs for Sappi & Mittal, new low for GLN @ 5229.
