Global equities have had a good run since the Liberation Day jitters in April, with Japan and South Africa being standout markets. Chris Holdsworth, Chief Investment Strategist, Investec Wealth & Investment International says markets are awaiting the next moves, but clouding the outlook has been the US government shutdown, which meant that the September jobs numbers could not be released. September inflation data could also be delayed. Meanwhile South Africa’s PMI numbers are improving, which should have a positive Impact on GDP. Investec Focus Radio SA
