Bullish reversal in the US after Fed minutes

Following a torrid few weeks on global equity markets, a nice reversal appears to be playing out in the US as Feb minutes suggest interest rates are likely to remain relatively low for an extended period. Global growth outlook remains weak, while US fundamentals are picking up.

Earnings Season in the US – Earnings Monitor

As we did during the June/July earnings season, we have once again started monitoring US company earnings for the current October/November earnings season. We will be updating these earnings releases twice a day, first thing in the morning, and shortly before the US markets open at 15:30.

Keep an eye on large cap companies surprising to the up or downside, as these can cause the market to move.

JSE Telkom – A momentum run of note.

Telkom (TKG) has fast become one of our most preferred JSE stocks this year. In the last 18 months Telkom has run from R13 a share (May 2013) to R62 (yes, a 375+% increase!) It gave us a fright when it recently dropped from R62 to R50 in a little over a week, but bounced back to R62 pretty quickly.
