Market Analyst for the evening Ricus Reeders, Portfolio Manager at PSG Konsult provided commentary on the Barclays Absa Africa deal getting the nod, Toyota moving into the African market, the stronger Rand, coupled with a swing to risk as a result of positive reaction to Chinese inflation figures along with the on-going response to Japanese stimulus plans, and a report revealing that faith in trade unions is falling.
