[Full Show] Corporate Shocks, Tax Bracket Creep and $3K Gold

Loading player...
Market Matters
This week, we look at the shocking corporate announcements we woke up to in the local banking space before attempting to make sense of the escalating diplomatic relations between South Africa and the US. We also prepare for the interest rates decisions of both countries.

Deep Dive
We dive into the concept of tax bracket creep or tax drag. We unpack the cause of this phenomenon and, more importantly, the impact it has on the earnings and livelihoods of taxpayers. We also assess the reality of how avoidable this is in real terms.

Investor Insights
We reflect on a gold price that reached historic levels, as well as some of the markets and companies that have been red flags in our opinion. We also update our wall of preferred picks and wrap things up with our Unfiltered Opinion of the Week.
