Johannesburg Stock Exchange week ahead: GDP, PMI and platinum results to test JSE stocks after Friday jump
Johannesburg’s JSE Top-40 index closed up 1.56% at 120,296 on Friday, driven by gains in resource shares like Impala Platinum and Anglo American Platinum. The rand slipped 0.3% to 15.9650 per dollar after mixed economic data. Traders await Monday’s Absa manufacturing PMI and Wednesday’s GDP figures. Global PMIs and U.S. payrolls are expected to influence commodity-linked stocks and the currency.
