In this brand new episode of Magic Markets, we dig into the food producer sector. This has been a tough place to play in these inflationary conditions, but why? Thanks to B2IT, you can find out. We looked at McCormick (20% market share in spices in the US) and a selection of South African food producers. Of course, PepsiCo and my favourite chips (blue Dorito's) get a mention as well! |

TreasuryONE Market Update The conflict in the Middle East has tragically escalated, with hopes of a peace settlement fading. Although gold and oil prices both jumped, currency markets remained stable. In the US, strong retail sales data saw US Treasury yields jump across the curve, with 2-year yields at a 17-year high of 5.21% as bets on a Fed rate hike picked up. Chinese economic data was positive this morning, with Q3 GDP at 4.9% vs. an expected 4.4%. The rand has shown surprising resilience, with risk sentiment having been boosted by Chinese data. The major local data release today is inflation, with CPI expected to be 5.3% higher. TreasuryONE hosted a recent webinar for clients with ETM Analytics. The video is embedded below, or you can watch it on YouTube here>>> |

Action in the property sector The local market has been rather dreary in terms of corporate activity of a positive kind, with most of the deals in the property sector being buyouts of funds trading at vast discounts to net asset value (NAV). But yesterday, we saw three unusual examples of corporate activity in the sector. First up, an acquisition by Hyprop of Table Bay Mall. This is in a high-growth area of Cape Town, but goodness knows they've paid for that privilege. We also have a capital raise by Exemplar REITail, with management wanting to execute a large bookbuild to reduce debt. Simply, this means that only certain institutional investors will get their hands on the shares at a discount, with the rest left out in the cold. I'm not a fan of what they are doing. There's also a new listing (amazing, right?) of a UK-based healthcare REIT called Primary Health Properties. I would be very nervous of the company at this point in the interest rate cycle, but it's still great to see fresh opportunities on the JSE. On a busy day of news, we also saw updates from Jubilee Metals, NinetyOne, Standard Bank, Tharisa and Zeder. Get everything you need in Ghost Bites with just one click>>> |
