Trading statistics for the week ended 5 April 2019
So one of South Africa's biggest general retailers, Pick 'n Pay brought out a trading statement earlier in the week, which the markets liked a lot. Considering the bad news that has been covering the retail sector it seems the market leaped at the opportunity to buy into a retailer that brought out some good news. The stock jumped 4% after the release of the trading statement. See more about Pick 'n Pay's trading update here.

So a year ago foreigners were net buyers of SA listed shares to the value of R26.5 billion for the YTD while this year they have been net sellers to the tune of -R27.032 billion in the year to date (YTD). That is a R53 billion swing in fortunes of foreigners being net buyers or sellers over the course of the last 12 months. And sadly for South Africans and South African investors the foreigners are dumping South African listed shares instead of buying.

Key issues for the market and South Africa during 2019 will be:
- Exchange Rate (seems to see sawing a lot. See our exchange rate page)
- Elections (and how this will affect policies and policy implementation in South Africa)
- Crude Oil prices
- Expropriation of land without compensation (EWC)
- Sluggish economic growth (See our SA GDP page) and high levels of unemployment
- Tax increases announced in the budget speech and how it will affect South African consumers spending patterns and potentially increase inflation levels as taxes were increased by rates higher than inflation. In particular lack of bracket creep relief and higher sin taxes, fuel levies and road accident fund levies will hurt consumers.
