The JSE All-Share ended the month of December down 0.45%. By sector the largest gainer was the Financial sector that closed the month positively, up 9.77%, supported by double digit positive returns in the month from FirstRand (+19.34%), RMB Holdings (+18.34%), Barclays Africa (+15.34%). By sector, the worst performer was the information Technology sector, down 9.39%, weighed down by a 19.83% drop in EOH Holdings Ltd. In addition, consumer discretionary stocks dropped by 8.41%, weighed down by declines in Steinhoff International (-91.73%), Steinhoff Africa Retail (-13.78%), and Naspers (-6.42%).

Among specific shares, the Steinhoff accounting scandal dominated headlines in December, which saw its shares price drop over 90% during December. At this stage, it appears that losses within the group have been masked in “off-balance sheet entities”, thus inflating earnings. It has been announced that the entity’s financials will need to be restated from its 2015 financial year.

The Rand recorded its worst level of R14.47 and its best level of R12.43 against the US Dollar in 2017. The Rand strengthened considerably against major currencies, as markets priced in Cyril Ramaphosa to win the ANC presidential election, who is seen as a market friendly presidential candidate. During the 7th to the 29th

December, the Rand strengthened by 9.87% to settle at the R12.38/$ mark, where the local currency has continued to trade well below the R13/$ mark, however, market participants anticipate the Rand to weaken back to a fair value of mid R13/$.

Lastly, on a local economic front, data was released in early December, indicated that the third quarter GDP grew by 2%. The largest contributor to the third quarter’s growth was the agricultural sector, which comprises of 44.2% of the national GDP, adding 9.6%. Mining production increased by 5.2% YoY (est. 4.1%) amid better-than-expected October mining data. Lastly, YoY headline inflation slowed to 4.6% for November (Oct 4.8%) and MoM inflation slowed to 0.1% from 0.3% in October 2017.

CHINA AND ASIA

EUROPE

UNITED STATES

SOUTH AFRICAThe STOXX 600 added 0.43% for the month of December. By sector, Basic Resources featured as the strongest performers, up 9.89%. In contrast, Utility stocks featured as the worst performers, down 3.89%. The FTSE 100 attributed positively to the gauge, featuring as the region’s top performer, up 4.93%. In contrast, the German DAX and French CAC 40 Index ended the month in negative territory, down 0.82% and 1.12% respectively.

In Europe, political risks remain elevated, amid the inclusive German election and stalled coalition talks, which rattled European markets mid-December. In addition, Italy’s political landscape has shifted significantly over the past five years, where populist parties have gained significant traction while traditional centre-left parties have lost support. Italian President, Sergio Mattarella, has scheduled Italy’s first election in 5 years for 4th March 2018.

In response to the solid global economic growth, the European Central Bank (ECB) has kept its asset purchases at €30 billion per month in 2018, however, given the low inflation and the likelihood that price pressures will remain low for the majority of 2018 in the Eurozone, the ECB will probably only raise interest rates in 2019.

Lastly, the economic growth in the UK slowed down to 1.5% in 2017 (2016: 1.6%). The 0.1% cut in growth output implies a £9 billion decrease in fiscal revenue. This coupled with a sharp depreciation in the Pound has increased inflation in the UK. This may force the Bank of England to increase interest rates at least once in 2018 to combat rising inflation.

Asian equities ended the month of December up, with MSCI Asia Pacific Index adding 2.00%. The Hang Seng featured as the region’s top performer up 2.54%, followed by a 0.18% increase in the Japanese Nikkei 225 Index. In contrast, the Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.30%.

Among specific nations, China has embarked on a new five-year political cycle. During the previous five years, stimulus in property and infrastructure markets were prioritised to soften the economic slowdown. The 19th Party Congress have stated that they have shifted their focus from quantity of growth to quality of growth for the next five years.

Growth in China is expected to slow down to 6% in the medium term, amid tightening financial conditions. Chinese Policy makers have clamped down on shadow financing and credit growth has fallen to almost 10-year lows.

Monetary policy in China is expected remain stable, however authorities could step in, should economic growth drop below 6%. .

The S&P 500 ended the month of December up 0.98%, reaching the 2673.61-point mark. By sector, the largest gainer was the Telecommunications Services sector which closed the month positively (up 5.77%). The Dow Jones and NASDAQ Composite Index advanced in December, adding 1.84% and 0.43% respectively.

US equity markets performed well throughout 2017 and finished December with further gains. Improving earnings growth was the main contributor for the positive performance in 2017. In addition, the estimated fourth quarter earnings growth for the S&P 500 was 10.9%, with all 11 sectors anticipating growth from third-quarter levels.

Fixed income investment vehicles experienced a relatively more volatile year compared to equities, amid the Federal Reserve (Fed) raising interest rates three times in 2017. Market participants anticipate that the Fed will continue raising interest rates at least two times in 2018. Although these interest rate hikes indicate the central bank’s confidence in the US economy, it could have a negative impact on fixed income markets.

Lastly, the Fed’s latest quarterly economic projections has forecasted US economic growth to be 2.5% (previously 2.4%) for 2017 and 2.5% for 2018, which has taken into account the effect of the new tax legislation.
