South Africa Can Entice Investors With New Budget, Minister Says

'With budget 3.0, there seems to be broad agreement, there seems to be less political noise,' Dean Macpherson said in an interview on the sidelines of an infrastructure summit in Cape Town on Monday.

BofA's Hauner Expects More Emerging-Market Gains as Dollar Drops
Emerging-market assets look poised to deliver 'several percent' returns this year on expectations of a continued decline in the US dollar, according to Bofa Securities. 'For the year, we can easily maintain the double-digit return and that's because we see the dollar as the most important driver and see a stabilization of the US long-end,' said David Hauner, head of global emerging markets fixed-income strategy at the US brokerage.

Trump Orders Entry Ban for People From 12 Countries
The Trump administration on Wednesday banned people from 12 countries from entering the United States, a dramatic escalation in President Trump's restriction on immigration. Mr. Trump's proclamation barred travel from a variety of countries, primarily in Africa and the Middle East. The list includes Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Mr. Trump also partially banned travel from several other countries, including Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. The decision to ban travel from those countries comes after Mr. Trump blocked asylum at the southern border and barred international students from Harvard University, and after his administration conducted raids across the United States. Mr. Trump's order frames the reasoning for restricting travel as necessary because of national security threats, but critics say that the order discriminates against broad swaths of people based on their ethnicity alone. In his first term, Mr. Trump barred travel from several Muslim-majority countries, including Iran. 'The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas. We don't want them,' Mr. Trump said in a video message Wednesday evening posted on social media. Mr. Trump's order comes just a few days after an Egyptian man in Colorado attacked a group honoring hostages being held in Gaza. Trump administration officials warned that they would crack down on migration in the wake of the attack.
