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.

Amid a flurry of upbeat economic news — a good mini-budget, a stronger rand, escape from the Grey List, the JSE on steroids and progress, on paper at least, on reform of South Africa's moribund rail and ports system — Anne Bernstein, head of the Centre for Development and Enterprise tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge that “I'm the first to welcome good news (but) we need to recognise what changes have been made (but) I don't think we've turned the corner. I think we're approaching the corner. And if you look at a lot of the reforms, energy's the most important … but there's so much more to do ... we shouldn't let our guard down. Look at the whole chess board. There's unemployment (which) is worse than it was a year ago by some 200,000 people. And we are simultaneously watching the absolute chaos, corruption and disaster in our criminal justice system”. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Interview with Niël Pretorius, CEO of DRDGOLD Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gold-strategic-vision-vs-market-hype-how-mining-leaders-navigate-cycles-7468Recording date: 29th October 2025DRDGOLD represents an unusual opportunity in the gold sector—a company that has paid dividends for 18 consecutive years without interruption, maintained a debt-free balance sheet through multiple commodity cycles, and is currently funding a transformative expansion entirely from operating cash flows. For investors seeking gold exposure through operational discipline rather than exploration speculation, DRDGOLD's business model warrants serious attention.The Johannesburg-based company, listed on both the JSE and NYSE with a market capitalization exceeding $2 billion, operates a distinctive business extracting gold from mine tailings—the waste material from historical mining operations. Current production runs between 100,000-155,000 ounces annually from two main operations: Ergo and Far West Gold. Success in this business depends entirely on processing massive volumes at the lowest possible cost, requiring relentless operational efficiency.CEO Niël Pretorius emphasizes a critical operational philosophy: "We don't gauge our efficiency on the basis of dollar per ounce. We gauge our efficiency on the basis of rand per ton." This focus on unit costs per ton processed rather than per ounce produced enables profitable operations across wider gold price ranges. As head grades inevitably decline when mining tailings, controlling costs per ton processed becomes the only sustainable path forward. Strategic investments in renewable energy—including a solar farm and battery storage at Ergo—have reduced power costs by 9-15 rand per ton, demonstrating management's commitment to continuous efficiency gains.DRDGOLD is currently executing Vision 2028, its most significant capital investment program. The initiative includes three major projects: extending Ergo operations with new infrastructure including the Withok tailings facility, expanding the DP2 plant to double processing capacity to 1.2 million tons monthly, and constructing an 800-hectare Regional Tailings Storage Facility—one of the largest in South Africa—capable of holding more than 800 million tons of mine residue. These projects will establish infrastructure for processing 3 million tons monthly and increase production to approximately 200,000 ounces annually by 2028-2029.The financial execution is particularly impressive. Vision 2028 requires $100-120 million in annual capital expenditure, dramatically higher than the company's typical sustaining capital of approximately 5% of cash operating costs. When designed, management anticipated requiring debt financing during peak capital periods. However, the gold price rally enabled funding the entire program from cash flows while maintaining the debt-free balance sheet and even doubling recent dividend payments. Upon completion, sustaining capital requirements will return to historical levels, substantially improving free cash flow generation.Beyond current operations, DRDGOLD is positioning for two growth opportunities: regional consolidation of nearby tailings operations leveraging existing infrastructure, and environmental restoration services for global mining companies. The restoration concept involves reprocessing mine tailings and depositing material into exhausted open pits, addressing the industry's escalating mine closure challenge while potentially generating economic returns. Management is actively engaging with operators of mature open-pit projects worldwide.Pretorius articulated the company's value proposition candidly: "Our value proposition is one of asset optimization. So we have a very large asset base. We can process at a particular rate, and our efforts are towards putting in the infrastructure to do that for as long as we possibly can and not leaving any value behind." This embedded resilience—prioritizing stability and longevity over speculative growth—has enabled uninterrupted dividend payments through commodity cycles and positions DRDGOLD as a disciplined, operationally focused investment in the gold sector.For investors seeking gold exposure through proven management, operational excellence, production growth, and financial discipline without exploration risk or acquisition-driven volatility, DRDGOLD presents a compelling case built on 18 years of demonstrated resilience.View DRDGOLD's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/drdgold-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
