Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Boxer’s debut JSE bout. PLUS: Thandana’s garage births 60 jobs
Q: Which JSE listed company began life as KwaZulu Cash and Carry?
Boxer began life as KwaZulu Cash and Carry in KwaZulu-Natal in 1977.
Can Trump find his oil price offramp? Plus: Khayelitsha Cookies clear for takeoff
Q: How does the current oil volatility affect South Africa's economy and inflation outlook?
Volatility translates into higher input costs, pressure on inflation, and potential policy responses like fuel levy relief. The SA government is managing near-term relief while watching global moves to avoid sustained inflationary pressure.
Can Trump find his oil price offramp? Plus: Khayelitsha Cookies clear for takeoff
Q: What is the longer-term consequence of the UAE withdrawing from OPEC?
Experts suggest it could allow more flexibility on exports and potentially exert downward pressure on prices over time, though the impact depends on global demand, other supply dynamics, and OPEC Plus coordination.
Can South Africa Outsmart the Global Crisis?
Q: What is the main driver behind the current volatility in markets?
The host and guests describe geopolitical tensions, especially in the Iran–Israel region and broader US policy shifts, as driving volatility and creating uncertainty about energy, inflation, and interest rates.
What will it take for SA to create 5 million jobs in 10 years? Can China help?
Q: What is the difference between investing and trading?
Investing looks at a long horizon (years) and aims for growth over time, while trading seeks short-term gains by buying low and selling quickly; most people benefit from a patient, long-term approach rather than frequent buying and selling.
