The local index appears to be following US equity markets lower following last week’s better-than-expected jobs data which suggested that borrowing costs in the world’s largest economy could stay higher for longer than originally anticipated.

As such US data will be key for traders to watch in terms of providing short-term directional guidance.

On Tuesday we await the US Producer Price Index (PPI) and Core PPI data at 3.30 pm (SA time).

On Wednesday we await the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Core CPI data at 3.30 pm (SA time).

In addition to US PPI and CPI inflation data out this week, traders will also want to keep an eye out for Retail and Core Retail sales data as well as Weekly Unemployment Claims data out on Thursday.

There is no high-impact data scheduled for release locally this week.

Cash adjustment expected

The South Africa 40 Cash Index is expected to adjust for a dividend in the underlying of 18,5 points on Tuesday the 14th of January 2025.
