Some potential good news:  New experimental serum called ZMapp might help fight Ebola, don’t pack your bags just yet Patrick, still early days.  Ebola now in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria, (also Atlanta and London but contained in hospital so far) 1600 infected, 800 dead.

SA business confidence at 15-year low

From Business Report:
http://www.iol.co.za/business/news/sa-business-confidence-at-15-year-low-1.1732115

Johannesburg - South Africa's business confidence fell to its lowest in 15 years in July, amid concerns that rising wage demands by unions will lead to higher unemployment, a survey by the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry showed on Thursday.

The Sacci business confidence index dropped to 87.9 in July from 89.7 in June, the lowest level since September 1999, Sacci said in a statement.

“Sacci is concerned about the employment outlook,” the industry body said in a statement.

“Rising unemployment is one of the immediate consequences of high wage demands supported through strike activity.”

Employers in the platinum mining, metals and engineering sectors have signed double digit wage increase deals this year to end protracted strikes that are likely to dent growth in Africa's most advanced economy. - Reuters

I get this feeling we’re just hovering around, waiting for something to happen.

Telkom & Naspers both still unrelenting in setting up new highs, TKG 5675 (currently -1.81% @ 5532), NPN 142128 (currently @ 140624 {-0.78%} ).

Abil placed under curatorship from 16:00 on 10/8 and suspended from trading, but I guess that’s old news for most of you.

T40 @ +0.51% @ 46 502, Satrix INDI @ 5978 (+3.42%) atm.

VIX 14.13 -0.70%, F&G 8 ‘Extreme Fear', previous close 7.

Europe green atm, US futures green.

So the GDP growth for the quarter came in at 0.6%, but it seems not to be good enough. Heard rumours on 702 last night saying there may be tax increases coming next year  :mad:

Now where were we?

Let’s see.

Putin was making hay, it was winter and world markets were at all time highs.  It seems Putin still up to it, freezing my azz off although it should be spring now and markets still up there, so I’ll say all-and-all, nothing has changed.

Today, States are celebrating Labor Day, no action to be expected from there then.

It’s basically a PMI & GDP kind of day:

08:00 German GDP (QoQ) prev -0.2%, expect same (Edit:  Actual -0.2%)
09:55 German PMI prev & exp 52.0
10:30 GB PMI prev 55.4 exp 55.0
11:00 SA Total Vehicles Sales

SA T40 @ +67 pips @ 8:13

Dow ended 17 098 (+0.11%), Nas 4580 (+0.49%), S&P 2003 (+0.31%)

Asia-Pacific green atm, Auz flat, futures undecided changing between red/green but I’ll go for flat.

Alsi ended 50 959 (-0.34%), T40 45 630 (-0.46%), Gold 1287 (7:40)

Moving up were Holdsport, Clover and down Aveng (-3.18%), Bidvest (-0.59%), Angloplat (-2.20%), Pinnacle (-2.17%), Assore (-2.11%), Advtech (-2.08%), ARB (-1.97%), Nedcor (-1.85%).

New highs for Net1UEPS 18.18% @ 14100, Clicks @ 6942 and intra-day Brait @ 8298.

New low for Assore -2.11% @ 30605 and Kumba 31617.

Iron ore prices have reached five year lows this week on Chinese inventories being at records highs, thus making Kumba and Assore very uneasy.

Sanlam positive HEPS increase of 119% (from Santam).
