Why South African investors should care about the biggest US-Japan currency move in 15 years
The US and Japan have just intervened in the currency market together for the first time since 2011. Here’s why it could affect your investments too.
Cheaper data is coming…These SA Telecoms stocks stand to benefit!
For years, South Africa’s mobile operators have competed by building bigger networks, rolling out faster 5G and convincing us to buy ever-larger data bundles.
Signals from the Stock Market: Learning to Read What the Market Analysis Is Telling You
Every trading day, the stock market generates an enormous amount of information. Share prices move, companies release results, investors react to news, and market sentiment shifts. Individually, these events may seem random. Together, they create signals that can help investors better understand where opportunities and risks may be emerging. We’ve previously discussed the three pillars of investment analysis: technical, fundamental, and sentiment analysis. Each approaches the market from a different angle, and each provides its own set of signals that investors can use to make more informed decisions.
Market Regimes Explained: Understanding Market Momentum
Over the last two weeks, we unpacked two of the most common market regimes: trending markets and consolidating markets. One moves with direction and conviction, the other chops sideways while traders wait for the next big move. But there is another important piece of the puzzle that sits between the two and often drives the transition from one phase to the next: momentum.
Three JSE Small Caps worth watching right now!
The big names get all the attention. Every headline is about BHP, Naspers, Standard Bank, Anglo American. And that’s understandable. They’re big, liquid, and well-covered. But some of the most interesting investment stories on the JSE are hiding in plain sight, well below the radar of most institutional investors. Here are three small caps worth watching right now.
Three AI stocks to watch in 2026: The companies getting rich from AI – without building a single model
Almost every AI conversation eventually gets to the models – ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok. That’s where the public attention goes. That’s what gets the headlines.
But behind every one of those models is a layer of infrastructure that most investors never think about: the networks that move the data, the pipes connecting the processors, and the teams cleaning and labelling the training data that makes the intelligence possible in the first place.
These are the picks-and-shovels of the AI gold rush. And right now, three companies operating in this space are posting numbers that are genuinely hard to ignore.
How can moving averages help in a Range-Bound Market
Last week, we looked at how to identify a trending market. But markets do not trend forever. In fact, some of the most frustrating trading environments occur when prices stop moving decisively in either direction and begin moving sideways instead. These periods are known as range bound or consolidating markets. Instead of producing clean momentum, markets become trapped between support and resistance levels, often creating sharp reversals and false moves that catch traders off guard.
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?”
That question is not neutral. It is not diplomatic small talk. It is a frame. And once you understand the frame, the entire relationship, and everything that comes out of Beijing this week looks very different.
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. Consumer confidence was cautiously recovering. After years of grinding cost-of-living pressure, there were genuine reasons for optimism. Then the Iran war started. And the numbers started moving in the wrong direction.
What isa trend and how to recognise it?
Markets don’t move in straight lines forever, but when a strong trend develops, it can feel incredibly obvious in hindsight. The problem is that most traders only recognise the trend after the biggest move has already happened.
The silicon chokepoint: why the 2026 AI chip shortage is different — and how to invest in it
After two years of explosive gains in AI related shares, many investors now assume the biggest opportunities are already behind us. Which is understandable given how strong the returns have already been. But despite that performance, I continue to believe the broader AI cycle is still in its early stages.
What’s happening at JSE listed Clientèle?
If you’ve followed the JSE long enough, you start to recognise a pattern. A company generates decent profits. It pays reliable dividends. But the share price never really goes anywhere – because the stock is thinly traded, institutions can’t get meaningful exposure, and the market quietly forgets it exists. That’s the Clientèle story. And now, after years of trading at a stubborn discount, the company has decided to do something about it.
Three JSE Big Dividend Stocks to watch in 2026
I’m profiling three JSE dividend stocks worth watching in 2026. Companies that don’t just pay dividends but have built the kind of durable earnings machines that make growing your income possible year after year.
