So markets are nervous about the new strain.

And the markets are strained at these levels, right now a straw will definitely break something

and that straw will once again be the CPI numbers coming out next week, if they surprise on the up side expect a massive pull back across the markets

Hypothetical question. What is the minimum profit margin do you guys look for if you trade frequently? R1000/R10000/R10000 ?

overweight to neutral is not exactly panic inducing news not to mention the opinion is based on ignorance

okay however you define inflation, it is now clear market participants are more worried about it than before, the FED describing this period as transitory has been discounted by the markets otherwise we would have seen a marked drop in commodities
