So the ZAR and stocks will tank on Monday as it did in December when the Hawks hit on Pravin.

The top ANC members told the Mail & Guardian that they had been secretly working on an "exit strategy" for Zuma who now says he is willing to step down to protect the integrity of the ANC.

Yes Moon. You are correct. The robot correction trade at close is not recorded in the percentage gain/loss.

Thin trades makes ZAR very volatile. Most I've seen it.

Seems like the ZAR is determined to gain despite all.

I don't get this and it happens every day. DIVTRX gained 20c today but my broker site states that it lost 15c. Sharenet also shows a loss of 15c.

The NFP result does not affect markets as much as it used to a year ago but it does affect the currencies. This may only last for 2 to 3 trading days.
The poor results caused the exodus from the USD perhaps due to the expectation that the FED will now not raise the interest rates next month.
This may also mean that the EM's will come back in favour to an extent but time will tell as USA bad news is bad for all markets.
The chart below is typical of FX news trading where panic sets in and sends the pair in the wrong direction. The pro's and con's are then mulled over and then clever money climbs in.

I used to and would have made big bucks with this one. Trade after the knee jerk is over and go the opposite direction for 4 hours.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 160,000 last month, far below the 202,000 that economists polled by Reuters had forecast on average. Good for ZAR but bad for stocks.
