South Africans are facing an impending and massive R8-a-litre fuel price shock when prices are adjusted next month. This spike is a direct consequence of the prolonged war in Iran, which has driven the Rand cost of oil up by 40%, jumping from R954 to R1,328 a barrel. The higher oil price - now above $80 a barrel from below $60 a week ago - is significantly impacting global inflation expectations, triggering nervous trading on Wall Street overnight. Also in Today's Daybreak: Global and local markets are under pressure, with the JSE down 0.75%, mainly due to a 2.5% fall in resource stocks. The Rand opened at R16.60 against the US dollar. Gold and Bitcoin remain steady at $5,150 and $71,250, respectively.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Simo Lushaba, Governance Specialist at the Institute of Directors South Africa, about the governance shift behind Patrice Motsepe’s decision to step down as chair. While much of the focus has been on the personality, the more significant development is the JSE’s newly implemented listing rule requiring the chairperson of a listed company to be a non-executive director, a move aimed at strengthening independence at board level. The change forms part of the JSE’s Listing Requirements Simplification Project and signals a tightening of corporate governance standards in South Africa.

Can one hawkish Fed Chair nomination melt a golden bull's wings? In this episode of Magic Markets, The Finance Ghost and Moe-Knows look at volatility, market overreactions, and how to hunt for asymmetry responsibly. On the macro side, Moe examines the recent gold price oscillations and explains why gold might be circling the rim of the ‘speculative' bucket, while Ghost takes a micro look at some tips for sniffing out asymmetrical returns. Join our hosts as they dive for treasure in the ‘too hard' pile of the JSE, reminisce about the 2008 ArcelorMittal share price, and look at LVMH, Netflix and Mr Price as examples of stocks that have fallen sharply from peaks. Today's Topics: Why the nomination of a surprisingly hawkish Fed Chair sent the gold price plummeting. How retail speculation is making gold behave more like crypto – and what it might mean for you. How a VC mindset and an understanding of asymmetrical returns might help you build a high-risk equity basket that doesn't blow up your core portfolio. What names like Netflix and Mr Price can teach us about opportunities after extreme market reactions.

Technology sits at the heart of modern capital markets, and nowhere is that more evident than at the JSE. In the latest episode of Meet the CIO, TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod sits down with Tebalo Tsoaeli, the bourse's CIO, to unpack how technology underpins Africa's largest stock exchange – and how it is evolving for a more digital, global and real-time future. Meet the CIO is brought to you by NTT DATA, where global experience meets local impact. Tsoaeli has spent his entire career in financial services technology, starting out as an application developer at Rand Merchant Bank before holding senior technology roles at Standard Bank, Investec, Nedbank, FirstRand and Sanlam. He became CIO of the JSE three years ago, bringing deep experience in large-scale, mission-critical systems to one of the most tightly regulated technology environments in the country. In the conversation, Tsoaeli reflects on his early exposure to computing and how a formal grounding in computer science shaped his career path. While he is clearly a technologist at heart, he explains how his role has evolved beyond pure IT delivery to focus on strategy, resilience, regulatory compliance and enabling market growth. A major theme of the discussion is the JSE's technology stack and how it has changed over time. Tsoaeli explains how the exchange now works closely with Amazon Web Services, moving away from a purely on-premises model to leverage cloud infrastructure for scalability, resilience and performance. He also addresses the question many market participants ask: can the cloud really be trusted with mission-critical exchange workloads, especially in a world where outages at global providers can have far-reaching consequences? Latency and real-time trading are central concerns for any exchange, and Tsoaeli provides insight into how the JSE's infrastructure supports the full trading lifecycle – from pre-market activity through live trading to post-trade clearing and settlement. He also touches on the exchange's networking architecture and how it is designed to deliver predictable, low-latency performance for brokers and market participants. The episode also explores the JSE's strategic technology partnership with Nasdaq. Tsoaeli explains how this relationship operates at a technology level and what it has delivered so far, including support for market modernisation and international interoperability. Closely linked to this is the modernisation of the JSE's Broker Dealer Accounting system, a project Tsoaeli describes as critical to improving efficiency, resilience and future-readiness. Given the highly regulated nature of financial markets, security and compliance are never far from the conversation. Tsoaeli outlines how the JSE balances innovation with stringent regulatory requirements, and what this means for data protection, operational risk and trust in the market. Looking ahead, the discussion touches on cross-border capital flows, dual listings and the potential role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning in trading and market operations – along with the risks that come with them. Finally, Tsoaeli shares his perspective on what success looks like for the JSE's technology journey over the next three to five years, how he sees the role of the CIO evolving, and – in a lighter moment – his favourite productivity hack.

Trump Takes Over Davos: In a wide-ranging address at the World Economic Forum, US President Donald Trump dominated the agenda.

She weighs in on whether these new revelations of police corruption are just a "circus" or if they will finally deter the syndicates embedded within law enforcement. Long-neglected mining sector is carrying the JSE (and the Rand): Veteran analyst Peter Major reveals that the mining sector now accounts for a massive 38% of the JSE All Share Index—a multi-decade high.

Orion Minerals jumped another 10% (now 33 cents/share), with Peter Major noting that, despite copper price volatility, the counter offers significant value. The Rand: Strengthening to R16.27/$, reflecting a 12% gain over the last year.

In today's episode of BizNews Daybreak, Alec Hogg covers a dramatic morning for global and local markets. The Trump administration ramps up pressure on Venezuela with oil tanker seizures, while we hear of escalating repression of the population by Maduro's underlings. Locally, the JSE sees action as HCI sells its 65% stake in Hermanus's biggest shopping mall for R600m and the ASP Isotopes-Renergen deal officially closes. Plus, regulators slam Novus for "conscious lying" in the Mustek takeover, with its chairman deeply implicated. Plus, mining guru Peter Major explains why portfolio favourite Orion Minerals has surged 36% this week.
Join Alec Hogg for BizNews Daybreak, your early morning briefing on investment markets and the world's biggest stories. We unpack President Trump's controversial proposal to manage Venezuelan crude to fund reconstruction, and hear analysis from The Economist around China's surprising silence on Maduro's removal - something which will doubtless be carefully analysed in the Union Buildings. Locally, the Rand strengthened to R16.36/$, and JSE portfolio stocks rallied, with a spectacular surge by BizNews Ricardo portfolio member Orion Minerals. However, new data suggests further economic contradiction: November's massive R37.7bn trade surplus was driven by plunging imports and December saw a fresh 11-month low in PMI . Get the context you need to win the day.
In today's episode: The Venezuela Crisis: The latest from Bloomberg, historian Niall Ferguson argues Trump's intervention was telegraphed months ago, while the FT provides critical context on the situation. Global Markets: Bitcoin hits $93,800, Gold holds near $4,500, and US oil stocks react strongly. Local Movers: The Rand strengthens to R16.32. On the JSE, Lewis hits a new high while Arcelor Mittal drops to a trough. Tech Watch: Updates on Nvidia and the overnight action on Wall Street.
Nelis Brink of PSG R21 runs us through the day's market developments, the JSE reaching new highs, copper standing out among commodity prices, local equities continuing their positive momentum from 2025, expectations of volatility in 2026, and the rand. SAfm Market Update - Podcasts and live stream
