Market Commentary

Our market experienced a lacklustre session on Tuesday and outperformed its international peers in the morning session but this was short lived and we sold off heavily in afternoon trade. A weaker open on Wall Street, renewed fears over the credit crunch, as well as profit taking, pushed nearly all major indices into the red. Banking stocks were hardest hit yesterday and lately the sector seems to be the most volatile with wild swings both ways. Volumes were good with R8.5 billion

The Day Ahead

Hold onto your hats as we are going to be in for a big red day. US Stocks extended their losses and ended the session on their lows after commentary from the Federal Reserve failed to confirm the possibility of a rate cut. Asian markets are weaker due to concerns over a slowdown in the US, while BHP Billiton is down 2.5% in Australia. European markets are called lower by about 0.5%. With the continued nervousness in world markets buyers will be a bit reluctant to aggressively buy at lower levels.

International Markets

US markets fell to close at their lows in continued light volume after the release of the FOMC minutes from the 7th August meeting, which failed to confirm thoughts of a rate cut ahead. Financials led the broad-based moves lower as Merrill Lynch downgraded Citigroup, Bear Stearns and Lehman`s. The Dow lost 2.1% while the S&P and Nasdaq both lost 2.4% on the day. The VIX spiked up 16% to 26.3 making it a 27% 2-day move. The yield on the US 10-year treasury dropped 9 bps to 4.51% as consumer confidence had its biggest fall in 2 years.

European stocks were also under pressure with the Stoxx50 down 1.8% as financials fell led by Barclays which ended -3.6% lower while German business confidence hit a 10 month low. In Asia this morning, the Hang Seng is down 2.3% and the Nikkei has lost 1.8% as the firmer yen hurts exporters.
