		<title>Budget: Soccer World Cup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Good Morning,
We once again managed  to trade sideways, as most companies are probably busy with budget and strategy  meetings. Local importers and exporters showed little interest in the currency markets yesterday. Most traders are still trying to figure out what impact the  Soccer World Cup will have on the local currency. For [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great Telkom Service</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi All
Apologies for not keeping my site up to date, however our local ADSL provider is the culprit for this delay, so I ventured out and got myself a backup by way of a 3G Vodacom contract to keep myself and you up to speed.  I logged a complaint with Telkom in December and of [...]]]></description>

		<title>U.S trade Deficit to China Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[






South  Africa’s  rand was unable to hold on to gains below 7.30/$ which caused investors and  speculators to buy back short dollar positions. This morning we are back above  7.40/$, we should keep in mind that S.A. Reserve bank is not comfortable with  the rand’s strength and will probably continue [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rand takes slight knock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[






South  Africa’s  rand weakened in a volatile session yesterday, breaking back above the 7.50/$  mark overnight. The euro dropped below 1.50 against the dollar as well as a  report that Dubai’s debt is much bigger than anticipated  was also cited as one of the reasons for our local units weakness.

		<title>South Africa out of Recession</title>

		<title>Positive Outlook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


South  Africa’s  rand held onto gains and is slightly stronger this morning. Most emerging market  currencies are benefiting from a positive global economic outlook.

		<title>Exchange Control Relaxed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


After yesterday’s  action the release of CPI today should be a non event. Market expectations are  at 6.2 percent slightly lower than last month. However the big mover yesterday  was the budget speech. Even though the relaxation of exchange control measures  we perceived as positive the huge projected budget deficit over [...]]]></description>
