Anglo-American’s Cash Raid on Anglo-Platinum
  • Anglo-American’s decision to unbundle its stake in Anglo-Platinum raises concerns.
  • Declaring a special dividend of R59 per share wipes out the company’s entire R17.6 billion cash reserves.
  • Implications for investors: selling pressure expected as shares land in new brokerage accounts.
China’s Tech Revival?
  • The appearance of Jack Ma and Xi Jinping together could mark a softening stance toward tech companies.
  • Alibaba partners with Apple, integrating its AI into Apple’s ecosystem.
  • Is China reopening the door for its tech giants?
Bull Market Momentum
  • Global indices continue to hit all-time highs, with AI and tech stocks leading the charge.
  • Not just tech: European and Asian markets show strength.
  • Are valuations stretched, or is there more room to run?
