Is this right?  SA Trade balance expected -1.00B, previous 1.72B came in at -11.39B?  Typo?

US GDP just in, prev 2.6%, expected 1.2% actual 0.1%.

From Darkside

14h22 South Africa recorded a much wider than expected trade deficit of 11.39 billion rand ($1.08 billion) in March after a 1.72 billion rand surplus in February, data from the South African Revenue Service showed on Wednesday.

What r u doing on the darkside, come back to the light jaDEB!

Platinum strikes hitting hard, seeing one of our greatest exports is plat. And to think, if Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia & Swaziland trades were omitted, we would have had a deficit of R21.16 billion. (Hope it was C.O.D.) :D

Maybe this isn't the right place to ask, but does anyone know what p/e the JSE is currently trading at overall?
The PE ratio on the JSE Top-40 index reached nearly 18 times on Friday when the market hit a new high: http://www.fin24.com/Markets/Equities/JSE-sets-another-record-20140504

Morning Moneypenny

Gold 1309 vs 1307   , $/R 10.52 vs 10.45, Copper 6.73 vs 6.73  , Nickel 18.50  vs 18.19   , Oil 99.40 vs 99.98

Growth in China's factory output and investment likely stabilized in April as the government uses targeted policy measures to underpin growth, while the pace of declines in exports and imports may have eased, a Reuters poll showed. However, the world's second-largest economy may only get a temporary boost from such policy support, as growth will inevitably slow while the government seeks to tackle high debt levels and excessive factory capacity

Hallo bok


Lately I find, I don’t have my head in the game any more. 

Anybody else’s rhythm also screwed with all these public holidays?  I don’t know what’s happening in the world any longer, so I’ll just leave you with his useless but appropriate Westlife crumb I've heard this morning:

‘That's life
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.’ :D

Then we will make a killing shorting banks and resources.

Funny how the rand is doing so well before elections.  :-X

£ also moving, not that we have anything to do with it:

The British pound nears $1.70 after strong service-sector data added to speculation that the Bank of England could raise rates sooner than expected.
