Simon Shares Remgro (JSE code: REM) plans to unbundle its stake in Grindrod (JSE code: GND). There were ideas that maybe Remgro would take out Grindrod, but the unbundling is going in a different direction and Remgro unbundles shares they don't want. Remember also that after the unbundling expect weakness in the Grindrod share price for a few weeks. They've held them since 2011 and hold a 24.81% stake For every 100 Remgro you'll receive 30.70841 Grindrod shares. Last day to trade (LDT) is 11 October 2022. You'll receive them with a base cost that Remgro paid, that value is still to be determined. Barloworld (JSE code: BAW) trading update is not bad. The big news is that they plan to list Avis by year-end. Tiger Brands (JSE code: TBS) trading update was solid off a low base. The chart looks bullish as it rose +10% on Monday after the update.

Just September pic.twitter.com/hMj5yP65bC — Simon Brown (@SimonPB) September 28, 2022   Rampant Dollar The US$ Index (code: DXY) is at twenty-year highs and within a few percent taking out the highs from the early 2000s and heading back to levels last seen in the mid-1980s. The reasons are simple and two-fold; The world is scared and fear sees investors rushing to the safety of the US$. Rising rates in the US now see the US ten-year treasury bills trading around 4%, the highest level in over a decade. So investors can flee to the US$ and buy 10-year bills for a ±4% return. Importantly this is hitting every currency in the world. Has earnings implications for US companies selling products offshore as those profits are now lower due to US strength. When does the strength stop? In the short-term a pullback is likely. But as long as fears remain the strength will continue and could continue well into next year. What to do? Don't panic. Consider some JSE listed currency ETFs. Continue with your offshoring strategy. The tables have turned. Emerging markets are much more resilient against the US Dollar than the rest of the G10. Year-to-date, the Dollar has risen a stunning 15% against the G10 (black), but only 5% against emerging markets (blue).

South Africans have been urged to rally around exploration as this country's Big Hairy Audacious Goal – a BHAG – so that what is described as "our lowest hanging economic fruit" can be turned to positive account. Council for Geoscience CEO Mosa Mabuza, who was speaking in support of the junior mining sector during a webinar presented by Minerals Council South Africa's Junior and Emerging Miners Desk, said: “We've been given a very important task. In fact, Parliament has set a BHAG for us.” (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.) Chaired by Minerals Council South Africa's Junior and Emerging Miners Desk head Grant Mitchell, the webinar's panellists and speakers included Orion Minerals and junior desk chairperson Errol Smart, Industrial Development Corporation mining industry champion Kevin Hodges, South African Diamond Producers Organisation (Sadpo) CEO Yamkela Makupula, Trimble Natural Resources MD Bill Feast, Lethabo Exploration CEO Mandy Malebe, ChromTech CEO Jono Gay, and JSE origination and deals head Sam Mokorosi. Pronounced ‘bee hag', Mabuza recalled how the BHAG banner had in years gone by been waved with vigour by former De Beers Group MD Gary Ralfe, on his way to successfully implementing some of the most far-reaching advances of the then South Africa-centred global diamond business. Another massive national BHAG rally is required once again, he emphasised, to attract “in the short term” a minimum of 5% of global exploration expenditure a year. Urgently needed, he harangued, was for "all stakeholders to have their hands on deck, so that we can, as a nation, work towards obtaining the desirable outcomes", for what he regards as South Africa's lowest hanging economic fruit. “We have a very rich mining history,” referring to the number of multinational mining corporations that have been founded and built in South Africa before becoming “truly global”. “They started here, and it's possible to have them again,” Mabuza enthused during the webinar covered by Mining Weekly. But what had to be recognised was that South Africa, after delineating and understanding some of the mineralising systems, relaxed its exploration effort. This had been made apparent by a revisit to some of the old boreholes of, for example, the historic Witwatersrand basin, which had been exceedingly revealing. “We've found some incredible information there that may potentially expand the extent of the Wits basin,” Mabuza revealed. RENEWBLE ENERGY AND CRITICAL MINERALS Regarding the huge minerals potential of the Northern Cape, South Africa had “barely scratched the surface”, and had paid scant attention to renewable energy being material intensive. Regarding critical minerals that the world requires for renewable energy generation, he said: “We should have started yesterday to organise ourselves as a country to begin the search for these minerals”. Owing to exploration being an ecosystem, building blocks needed to be put in place to unleash “this wonderful opportunity”. “I'm delighted that we're having this discussion now, so that we can strengthen and enrich our thinking in respect of re-imagining and recatalysing exploration activities”, which he described as South Africa's lowest hanging economic fruit. The Junior and Emerging Miners Desk programme of Minerals Council South Africa represents 38 junior and midtier producers as well as exploration/development companies. In addition, the desk works closely with mining associations, particularly Sadpo and the Clay Brick Association. Junior mining and exploration have been identified as key components in developing and driving the overall mining sector. The release of the exploration strategy and implementation plan by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy in April spoke to the need for exploration to be increased to 5% of all global exploration dollars within the next five-year period.

The JSE has a new product that is appropriate for fund-raising by junior mining companies, JSE origination and deals head Sam Mokorosi said on Friday. Mokorosi, who was speaking at Minerals Council South Africa's Junior and Emerging Miners Desk webinar, highlighted the new product against the background of the JSE wanting to reverse the low number of junior mining listings on the exchange, about which it was very concerned. He highlighted the new product in response to an observation of Council for Geosciences CEO Mosa Mabuza that although South African mining's future was junior, the country had not made it easy for juniors to list on the stock exchange. “It would be incredible if we can begin to see IPOs in our very own JSE that will be led by junior miners, which would also be based on the quality of the asset that we would be able to delineate in the next weeks, months and years,” said Mabuza. With capital formation in the unlisted, private market growing tremendously since the global financial crisis of 2008, many exchanges around the world, including Nasdaq private markets, have moved into helping unlisted companies to raise capital. “We have a focus on the SMME ecosystem and how we as the JSE can assist with capital formation within that world,” said Mokorosi. The new JSE private placements platform currently has 15 companies raising R3-billion worth of capital on it. “We also have investors on the platform, including large institutions like Sanlam, Old Mutual and Momentum, as well as private equity funds, venture capital, BEE investment companies and high net worth investors. “We've created this ecosystem that says please come on to JSE private placement for your fund raise if the listing route is not appropriate for you at this stage,” Mokorosi told the webinar covered by Mining Weekly. The process has been designed to be as simple as possible and enable the fund-raise process take place as quickly as possible. “You as a junior miner would come to us, we would understand what you're looking to raise money for, do all the FICA checks and then put the fund raise on to our platform. “We do have a set-up fee that is somewhere between R20 000 and R100 000, depending on how much you are raising. Within paying that set-up fee, the deal goes live and within two weeks we'll put you in front of quantified investors that understand your deal,” Mokorosi added. This unlocks an opportunity for the JSE to enter the private equity and debt market in South Africa and across the continent. The Junior and Emerging Miners Desk programme in the Minerals Council represents 38 junior and midtier producers as well as exploration/development companies. In addition, the desk works closely with mining associations, particularly the South African Diamond Producers Organisation (Sadpo) and the Clay Brick Association.

The Minerals Council South Africa supports President Cyril Ramaphosa's electricity recovery plan and urges more rapid private sector participation in resolving the country's deepening electricity crisis. Minerals Council members have 6 500 MW of embedded energy projects in the pipeline which will ease demand pressures on Eskom, giving it the space to conduct much-needed maintenance programmes. The 89 projects by 29 mining companies are worth more than R100-billion. The mining industry's projects are part of the more than 8 000 MW of energy projects the private sector has planned, taking advantage of the removal of the 100 MW cap on licence-free embedded energy projects by President Ramaphosa in July. The plans outlined to stabilise South Africa's electricity supplies included, as a primary focus, the stabilisation and normalisation of Eskom, which declared Stage 6 load-shedding on Sunday after multiple plant failures. “It's critical we get stabilisation in the existing network while we in the private sector do what is necessary to get investment into the next stage of South Africa's energy chapter by developing alternative additional sources of electricity in the form of renewable energy,” Minerals Council CEO Roger Baxter stated in a release to Mining Weekly. “We know load-shedding will be a risk for the next two years, but we must continue to bring supplemental supply from the private sector on stream as quickly as possible,” Baxter added. There has been progress around the time it takes to register private renewable energy projects and access Eskom's grid, and in relaxing environmental permitting, but there are still unnecessary bottlenecks that are delaying investments. The Minerals Council and fellow business groups and energy users have raised these with the Presidency and relevant Ministers. Eskom CEO André de Ruyter has said the utility needs up to 6 000 MW of additional electricity supply so its teams can conduct effective maintenance programmes on its fleet of aged power plants. The energy projects in the mining industry are largely for self-use as the sector strives to be a net-zero carbon emitter in line with commitments by its global peers by 2050. The industry has noted Eskom is willing to buy third-party generated electricity as outlined in the President's energy recovery plans, but at the moment mines are focused on supplying their own needs to take pressure off the national grid. As reported by Mining Weekly, Eskom aims to approach the market imminently with an offer to buy up to 1 000 MW of surplus electricity that it believes could be immediately available from existing independent power producers and large companies with their own generation capacity Mining companies that have opted to self-generate have found the business case to be exceedingly strong. Gold Fields' South Deep gold mine west of Johannesburg in Gauteng will be generating its own solar power at a mere 8.5% of the cost of power from the national grid. The JSE- and New York-listed company is also optimistic that it will be successful in augmenting the solar power generated with wind power. Gold mining company Pan African Resources, which began with 10 MW, is now targeting another 30 MW. From its pioneering 10 MW endeavour it saved R4-million in its first month of generation. Moreover, the energy transition under way globally presents a fresh opportunity for South Africa to build a clean and inclusive energy ecosystem that can create new and significant economic opportunities for the African continent. This continent, with its vast natural reserves of abundant sun and wind, provides an unmissable opportunity to both decarbonise and create significant new economic sectors – and many in mining have been committed for a long time now to play their role in making that opportunity a reality.

JSE-listed Metair Investments and its subsidiary, Hesto Harnesses, along with President Cyril Ramaphosa, on September 13 officially launched the new Hesto vehicle wiring harness manufacturing facility in KwaDukuza, KwaZulu-Natal. The new 35 000 m2 Hesto facility is one of five capital investment projects which resulted in a commitment of over R1.4-billion by Metair to support the expansion and localisation of the new Ford Ranger, through automotive component contracts. In partnership with global automotive parts supplier Yazaki Corporation, Hesto employs manufacturing skills and processes to produce wiring harnesses and instrument clusters for supply to South Africa-based, automotive original-equipment manufacturers (OEMs) Toyota South Africa Motors, Isuzu, Nissan, and recently added, Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA). The new facility will produce wiring harnesses for the latest Ford Ranger and Isuzu models, which will be sold locally and abroad. This follows a R15.8-billion investment by FMCSA in its Silverton assembly plant, in Pretoria, and major supplier factories, as announced in 2021, which will enable the company to support production of the next-generation Ford Ranger. Other subsidiaries involved in these projects include Unitrade 745, Automould, Lumotech and Supreme Springs, with a variety of wires, plastic and chrome plated parts, suspension parts as well as headlights and tail lights being produced. The investment commitment by Metair is an outcome of the South Africa Investment Conference held in 2020 and directly aligns with the objectives of the South African Automotive Master Plan to 2035 (SAAM2035), with the new facility posited to increase localisation, develop skills and create employment. Speaking at the launch, Ramaphosa said this investment showcased the long-term commitment by FMCSA and Metair to South Africa and underpinned their confidence in the country's role in the global automotive value chain. Metair CEO Riaz Haffejee said the new facility took about nine months to complete, since the groundbreaking last year and that R804-million had been invested in the facility. A key benefit on the new facility that was lauded during the launch was the employment it has engendered, with 4 000 jobs created, more than doubling Hesto's staff complement. Ramaphosa lauded this achievement, especially given that it includes the youth of the country, and further, boasts a 70% female representation. He also pointed out that the localisation targets would benefit the surrounding communities. Ramaphosa said such strides in localisation were aligned to aims outlined in the SAAM2035 and called for a continued drive in this area. Hesto MD William Hilditch pointed out that Hesto was the largest employer in the area and said it was proud of its role in empowering the greater iLembe district community. “The government support to both Ford and Isuzu unlocked this opportunity for Hesto to grow its operations, both in KwaDukuza and Tshwane, and contribute significantly to employment, economic growth, skills development and transformation. “Our drive to increase localisation across our business has enhanced this impact. Our country has the resources and skills available to localise more and we believe that, through closer collaboration across the value chain, there is much more that can be achieved on this front,” Hilditch commented. Haffejee echoed these sentiments, noting that the new facility was testament to the Metair group's customer commitment and drive to support the sustainability of the automotive sector through enhanced localisation and global skills transfer. “I am extremely proud of what the team at Hesto has achieved and extend our appreciation to our partners and other stakeholders, specifically Ford and Yazaki, for making this project possible,” he outlined.

For the past three weeks South Africa's largest asset managers - and particularly Coronation, Allan Gray and Ninety One - have been accused of profiteering at the expense of retail investors. This came in the wake of detailed analysis by Ranmore Funds founder Sean Peche, who holds both CA and CFA qualifications, which showed South African investors were paying much higher fees than their counterparts elsewhere in the world. Coronation's Head of Personal Investments, Pieter Koekemoer, presents the other side of the story in this Right of Reply discussion with Alec Hogg of BizNews.com. In it he argues that Peche's analysis is not a fair comparion; addresses the Coronation incentive model (30% of pretax profits as a bonus); responds to Sygnia founder Magda Wierzycka's scathing attack in Coroantion's culture - and explains why it has taken so long for the JSE-listed company to respond.

One of the SA money management industry's ultimate insiders, veteran investor Chris Logan, has entered the debate over 'performance fees' charged to small investors via big companies' self-created benchmarks. Logan was a star manager at Old Mutual, BOE Asset Management and HSBC before starting his own company, Opportune, two decades ago. As a shareholder in Coronation, he is urging the company to publicly respond to Ranmore Funds founder Sean Peche's disclosures, which he describes as "explosive". Only one of the big companies tagged by Peche for charging fees not countenanced elsewhere (Ninety One) has offered a response - and then primarily because it was inadvertently named instead of Coronation for a dubious practice conducted by its rival. Adding spice to the mix is that Coronation, whose numbers are public because its shares are listed on the JSE, carves out 30% of its profit into a bonus pool for distribution among 160 staff - in its most recent financial year that came to R700m. Logan says such a huge bonus aligns staff with shareholders. A counter is that it may also encourage profiteering of the kind alleged by Peche. Logan discussed the issue with Alec Hogg of BizNews.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

August saw major reversal of fortunes for the markets after July's bounce back. A larger majority of investors now believe the global economy is likely to tip into recession within 12 months, according to the latest Bank of America global fund managers' survey. A net 58% of respondents believe recession is likely, up from a net 47% a month earlier. The net figure, which represents positive answers less negative ones, is the highest reading since May 2020. The JSE all share index logging its biggest one-day gain in three weeks on Friday after investors reacted favourably to the closely watched US nonfarm payrolls report. The world's largest economy created 315,000 jobs in August, versus 290,000 jobs that the economists had forecast. Global equities markets had been jittery in the days leading up to the release of the jobs report, which is seen as one of the more reliable gauges for the outlook on inflation that is hovering at a 40-year high in the US. The sustainability of near-term gains will, however, be tested as we edge closer towards the Fed's rates decision later this month. Sadly US market faded late on Friday and that soured sentiment heading into the new week with European futures down and the euro taking a fresh spill this morning after Russia shut a major gas pipeline to Europe, leading some governments there to announce emergency measures to ease the pain of soaring energy prices. U.S. markets are closed for the Labor Day holiday so liquidity will be lighter than normal, while The impact of Europe's energy crisis on global financial markets cannot be ignored. OPEC+ is meeting today and is likely to keep oil output quotas unchanged for October, although some sources would not rule out a small production cut to bolster prices that have slid due to fears of an economic slowdown. Let's find out what the animal spirits are telling us with Chris Holdsworth, chief investment strategist at Investec Wealth and Investment.

Happy spring Day Sadly, it's not so happy for markets with stocks staggering into September this morning with the dollar spiking as investors greeted Spring in the southern hemisphere and autumn in the northern by selling everything that was not nailed down after a month battered by concerns about aggressive rate hikes from global policymakers. Regional purchasing managers' indexes from South Korea, Japan and China on Thursday all pointed to slowing global economic activity as high inflation, rising interest rates and the war in Ukraine took a heavy toll. read more Overnight, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said the U.S. central bank would need to boost interest rates somewhat above 4% by early next year and hold them there in order to bring inflation back down to the Fed's goal, and that the risks of recession over the next year or two had moved up. U.S. stocks ended the month with the worst August performance in seven years. For the month, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 4.06%, the S&P 500 4.24% and the Nasdaq 4.64%. The JSE all share ended down just over 2% for the month.

Join Independent Analyst Loyiso Mpeta, as he takes us through what the charts are saying about JSE banks like Nedbank, Absa, Standard Bank and Firstrand.

The JSE ended little changed on Thursday after the US Federal Reserve's mixed signals overnight about the trajectory of inflation and interest rates — the two interrelated themes that have been driving market psychology for months. The R5.49-trillion resource 10 index is beholden to commodity prices, which have fallen sharply since peaking in the first half of 2022. They, in turn, have been dragged down in part by question marks over the direction of the China's economy, which has been hobbled by stringent lockdowns to control the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Banks resumed their upward march on Thursday after taking a breather on Wednesday, with the index gaining 0.44% to stretch the sector's gains to 12.58% over the past month on a rolling basis. However, the insurance market was patchy, as were the big industrial shares. Asian shares were left in limbo on Friday while the U.S. dollar made all the running as recession clouds gathered over Europe and highlighted the relative outperformance of the U.S. economy. To put the week into perspective Michael Avery is joined by Warwick Lucas, Head from Galileo Securities; Isaah Mhlanga, Chief Economist at Alexforbes & Raymond Parsons, Professor at the School of Business and Governance at Northwest University

A forgotten term, The Fed Put, has re-entered Wall Street's vocabulary. Stock and bond participants are betting the US Federal Reserve Bank is bluffing and will stop raising interest rates when economic damage becomes obvious. Fed officials have been doing their best in public statements to say the opposite. Also in this episode of the BizNews Breakfast Briefing - after hitting a six month low earlier in the week, the oil price is edging back towards $100 a barrel; Bitcoin's rally appears to have petered out; and the Rand fell sharply overnight against the US Dollar.

In die nadraai van 'n hofstryd van reuse-omvang, het Trustco uiteindelik gesien dat geregtigheid seëvier, aangesien sy dringende interdik om die Johannesburgse Aandelebeurs, die JSE, te weerhou om sy notering op te skort, vandag geslaag het. Trustco sê dit het vir hulle nodig geword om ‘n dringende aansoek by die hooggeregshof van Suid-Afrika in te dien om te verhoed dat die JSE sy onregverdigde uitgereikte skorsingsbesluit afdwing. Dit is die tweede dringende aansoek wat Trustco suksesvol teen die JSE in die hooggeregshof gewen het.
