SA shares enjoy best May since 2013
• For more financial news, go to the News24 Business front page. South Africa's benchmark stock index is heading for its best month in almost a year, with a helping hand from China's most valuable company. The FTSE/JSE Africa All Share Index is up more than 7% in dollar terms in May, on track for its biggest monthly gain since June last year and its best May performance since 2013. It has outperformed emerging-market peers as well as the S&P 500 and the Stoxx Europe 600. The largest contributor to the rally has been tech investor Naspers, which soared after China's Tencent in which it owns a stake, reported a faster-than-anticipated 13% rise in sales. Naspers, which accounts for more than 12% of the index, contributed one fifth of the monthly gain in index points, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's almost three times as much as any of the next three stocks, which include two platinum miners and Prosus - which holds Naspers' stake in Tencent. Stars align Whether the rally continues will depend on the South African coalition government's commitment to push through economic reforms, metal prices and the 'sell America' trade that is driving investment to developing nations, said Peter Takaendesa, head of equities at Mergence Investment Managers. 'If a few stars align such as continued fund flows toward emerging markets, and structural reforms in South Africa pick up some pace at the same time with a continued broader recovery in global commodity prices, then our market could continue to push higher,' Takaendesa said. Naspers has climbed more than 5% this month on investor optimism that Tencent will weather the challenging economic outlook in the coming months. The WeChat operator's sales rose to 180.02 billion yuan (R450 billion) in the March quarter, as it benefited from the Chinese tech comeback triggered by DeepSeek. Platinum producers Sibanye Stillwater, Northam Platinum and Impala Platinum, were also among the top performers as the metal rose to a two-year high. Domestic-facing sectors such as retailers and banks, however, underperformed as political uncertainty damped consumer confidence and the outlook for the economy soured, Takaendesa said. South Africa's central bank resumed its easing cycle on Thursday to offer support to the stuttering economy as inflation remains benign. The monetary policy committee cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 7.25%, the lowest in more than two years, while downgrading its forecasts for economic growth. The cut will provide support for some sectors such as retailers, Unum Capital analyst Lester Davids said. The All Share Index declined 0.4% in Johannesburg around 15:00 local time.

Stocks futures drop as Trump claims China has ‘violated' trade agreement
Stock futures fell Friday after President Donald Trump said China has 'totally violated' its trade agreement with the United States, sending another jolt to markets after a whiplash week of tariff developments. Dow futures were down 100 points, or 0.3%. S&P 500 futures and those tied to the Nasdaq 100 both slid 0.3%. 'The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,' the president posted on social media. 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' Wall Street has been cautious about the next steps in Trump's trade war. Stocks had received a boost this week after the Court of International Trade late Wednesday blocked most of Trump's tariffs on legal grounds, but that rally lost steam as traders bet the White House would aggressively appeal and pursue another legal strategy. A federal appeals court on Thursday paused the CIT's ruling to block Trump's tariffs, leaving the president's massive tariff agenda in limbo as the courts deliberate its legality. 'The stunning, head-spinning, mind-boggling trade fiasco will not be resolved quickly,' said Greg Valiere, chief US policy strategist at AGF Investments, in a note. 'It probably will land in the Supreme Court — and even that may not settle the issue.' Investors on Friday also digested fresh data that showed the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge cooled in April slightly more economists had expected, but also revealed a significant drop in consumer spending. Trump has reignited his trade war in the past week, which has stirred up uncertainty in markets after Wall Street had begun to turn the page on tariff concerns. The S&P 500 has been steadily climbing out of an early April slump instigated by the president's back-and-forth on his 'reciprocal' tariffs. Despite the recent fluctuations, investors who sold at the start of May missed out on a historically strong month for markets. The benchmark index is up more than 6% this month and is on track for its best month since 2023 and its best performance in May since 1990. 'Even though the stock market has staged a decisive rebound since the April lows, there is still plenty of uncertainty on tariffs, especially given the legal battle that is brewing over the 'Liberation Day' tariffs,' said Clark Bellin, president and chief investment officer at Bellwether Wealth. The dollar slightly gained on Friday. Yet the US dollar index, which measures the dollar's strength against six major foreign currencies, is on track to end the month in the red. It would be the dollar's fifth month of decline in a row. 'We expect bouts of market volatility ahead as investors continue to navigate a range of market, economic and geopolitical risks,' said Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, CIO of global equities at UBS Global Wealth Management, in a Thursday note. The benchmark S&P 500 is up about 0.5% this year. This is a developing story and will be updated.
