To kick the week off, Anthea takes a look at SA Macro updates from the country going into technical recession to the government subsidising the petrol price for September, raising it by only 5c a litre instead of the expected 25-30c. In companies reporting, she touches on Supergroup, Discovery, MMI, FirstRand and Capitec. And in global news, find out how US non-farm payrolls came out better than expected, Amazon becoming the second US listed company to reach a 13 digit valuation of $1trn and how Elon Musk smoking weed impacted his business. In closing, Anthea brings up Jack Ma’s retirement and the plans he has in place for that.
