Quarterly commentary (2nd quarter)
Domestically, South
growth estimate for 2014 has been revised downwards given lack of growth in exports coupled
with weakening consumer and business confidence that has dampened the pace of South
economic recovery. In
spite of this the equity markets delivered strong performance with the JSE All Share Index experiencing another phenomenal
quarter returning 7.2% during the period, surpassing the 4.3% of Q1. The star performer in Q2 has been the JSE Industrial
Index, up an impressive 8.3% after just 0.8% in Q1. The Financial Index did 6.8% versus 6.1% in Q1 and the Resources Index
just 2.6% after an exceptional 10.6% in the first quarter.
Domestic equity markets continued to be buoyed by Naspers exceptional performance through the period, as well as
ongoing outperformance of some of the larger rand hedge stocks. Market participants are however cautioned that current
domestic equity valuations are overextended and that the positive returns seen in previous months may be more muted
going forward.
