  • Concise. Informative. Valuable and focused.

    I like that it addresses topics head on and keeps it concise with what needs to be spoken about but no fluff. Bringing in an educational point as to why certain things are happening would be great

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

No Ordinary Wednesday Ep 133 | Bond markets: A licence to yield.
Q: What three indicators should SA investors watch to gauge the end of the year: risk-free rates proxies, inflation expectations, and SA fiscal condition?
Key indicators include US sentiment affecting risk-free proxy rates, inflation expectations (from Michigan indicators), and the trajectory of SA fiscal consolidation including debt-to-GDP and primary surplus.
No Ordinary Wednesday Ep 133 | Bond markets: A licence to yield.
Q: Awongiwe, how do fixed income investors distinguish temporary imported inflation from persistent pressure that could force the SA SARB to tighten?
Imported inflation tends to be temporary when driven by oil/currency shifts, while persistent inflation affects inflation expectations, wage growth, and service inflation, which would compel the SARB to tighten policy.
No Ordinary Wednesday Ep 133 | Bond markets: A licence to yield.
Q: The question now is what comes next? Can global growth hold up while inflation continues to ease? Can central banks start cutting rates without reigniting price pressures?
Global growth remains challenged but supported by CAPEX-driven productivity; inflation has potential to ease if growth strengthens, which could enable rate cuts, though risks from wage growth and service inflation could complicate timing.
Everything Counts | Episode 52: Has saving lost its meaning?
Q: What is the first conversation someone should have with themselves about saving?
Understand what kind of life you are trying to build and what prosperity looks like for you; money should serve that purpose rather than control you, so start by defining the end goal and then work backwards to plan how savings will support it.
No Ordinary Wednesday Ep 132: Investing in AI's next chapter
Q: When might we see tangible ROI from AI investments, and how soon could a meaningful step up in agent-based value occur?
Investors should expect a period of rapid value realization in the next 6–12 months for practical use cases, with broader, meaningful adoption likely within 2–3 years and continued growth for decades as the ecosystem matures.
