Today in Taking Stock, Craig Pheiffer provides insights as November winds down: As we dive into the final week of the month, the JSE is just 0.01% in the green for November so far while the S&P 500 is up 5.5% for the month to date. With the US third quarter earnings season largely concluded and with US families looking forward to Thanksgiving on Thursday, the markets are facing a potentially quieter week. Most of the key U.S. data for the week will be published today, including durable goods orders, a second update on third-quarter economic growth, and consumer price inflation data (in the form of the PCE deflator), all set for release. Domestically we’ll also have some high frequency, but non-market-moving data published this week with the producer price inflation data on Thursday and money supply, trade and government finance data due on Friday. The US Chicago Purchasing Managers Index for November will be released on Friday but may find itself playing second fiddle to leftover turkey sandwiches. We will all be tempted by myriad Black Friday offers this week and those will be followed by the Cyber Monday deals next week. We’d like to see consumption helping the economy along, but we might need to exercise restraint for the sake of our personal budgets.  Discover more local and global market insights here: https://lnkd.in/euFMzKsC #takingstock #marketinsights #sasfinwealth2024

No future guidance to come from the SARB's MPC as it cuts by 25-basis points. Sasfin Wealth's Craig Pheiffer explains: Widely as expected, the governor of the Reserve Bank announced a 25-basis point cut in the repo rate to 7.75%, effective from Friday. At the post-statement press conference, the governor pointed out that the Monetary Policy Committee ("MPC") did not consider or discuss a 50-basis point cut at all. During the reading of the statement, the governor introduced the MPC's economic forecasts for 2027 for the first time. GDP growth was seen slowly picking up to 2.0% in 2027 with inflation at the midpoint of the inflation-target range at 4.5%. A change to the inflation target range has been the subject of much speculation and the governor noted that if there were to be any change, it would be appropriately communicated. What wouldn't be communicated from the MPC, would be any guidance on future policy actions, as all MPC policy decisions are made at each meeting based on the information to hand at the time. With no further MPC meetings scheduled for this year, we'll all have to wait until the 30th of January 2025 for the SARB's next interest rate announcement. #Sasfinwealth2024 #SARB #FED #interestrates
