Xi, Trump and the Thucydides Trap
“Can China and the United States overcome the so-called Thucydides Trap and create a new paradigm of major-country relations?”

How to protect your portfolio during a prolonged inflation shock
South Africa entered 2026 in its best inflation position in 21 years. Inflation had fallen to 3% – right on the Reserve Bank’s new target. More rate cuts were on the table.

AI slowdown? Not according to TSMC!
It’s no secret tech stocks have been the biggest victims of Trump’s 2025 trade war. The CNBC Magnificent 7 Index is down over 24% in 2025 so far – showing no signs of bottoming.
