Longer Term view on the #ZAR and a quick look at Bond Yields. Clearly not having a great end to the week/year...ZAR aiming for the R19 level and 10-Year yields are back at the highest levels for 2022. Attractive for yield seekers but sad to see as a Local looking to travel soon😀
The S&P500 Index is down -24% YTD, does this mean the US Equity Market is "cheap"? Looking at the S&P100, its certainly moving towards being attractive.
NOTE: P/E is affected by change in P-rice as well as the E-earnings (estimate), meaning both can move to change the ratio...
Adding the S&P500 Index to the CBOE Put Call ratio shows how a ratio above 1 identified decent buying opportunities in the recent past
Not saying go out and buy, but rather that it's easy to be negative, try to remain calm in your decision making process

A day of two "halves"...US Aug22 CPI (inflation) being released at 14:30 today. Markets may react very different to a surprise either way. Good luck!
Bloomberg US CPI breakdown and Estimate below:
US unemployment report looks good. And we know good news is bad news. Why? Less pressing need for the Fed to lower interest rates and markets don't like that. Because without lower interest rates, jobs wouldn't increase. oh wait...
US Jun CPI YoY will be released at 14:30 today.
Expected at 8.8% (Prev 8.6%) - See enclosed details
The US White House is expecting the CPI numbers to be “highly inflated” and if so, could have a big impact on world markets later today...so set a reminder!

The Fwd PE on the S&P500 has come down significantly (Analyst Est may still have to play catch-up) While there's potentially still downside risk using this metric, a counter argument for higher sustainable PE's are justified given the relative level of interest rates at present.
