[Full Show] US Tariffs Illegal, Minimum Wage in SA, and SARB buys PayShap

Loading player...
Market Matters
This week, kick off the new month with a new outlook and new updates. We look at the latest decision from the US Appeals Court regarding tariffs, and review the results of the likes of Nvidia that were reporting last week. We also try to figure out what will happen in this week's NFP data out of the US.

Deep Dive
We dive into the Minimum Wages paid by JSE-listed companies and attempt to make sense of some of the potential driving factors that companies would consider in determining their minimum wages. We also compare some of the lowest earners in our economy with some of the highest and hope to make sense of the numbers.

Investor Insights
We share our thoughts on the South African Reserve Bank's latest decision to invest in the fintech space. We analyze this significant moment for the central bank and share our theories on why they may have taken this decision.

We also update our Investor Wall with a very interesting choice of seasonal stock that has some bizarre reasoning to it.
