In a week where the gold price soared to new heights and the rand flexed impressively against the dollar, The Finance Ghost and Moe-Knows have turned their focus to the high-stakes world of emerging markets. But as global indicators flash green, is it as simple as buying the $EEM?

In this episode, Moe breaks down the macro recipe for a sustainable emerging markets rally and why South Africa might be in the sweet spot of a global rotation right now. He warns against ‘betting the farm’ on emerging markets overall, highlighting the wisdom of being highly selective in where you place your capital.

Ghost brings the conversation a little closer to home. He explores whether macro wins filter down to individual companies, with MTN as a great example of how a stock in South Africa can reflect the dollar realities. He also deals with the recent Clicks and Cashbuild performance and the jitters in the South African consumer story.
