  • Inflation

    Now: Inflation steady (4.4% (Aug))

  • The rand

    Helps this segment when it rises (imports stock or inputs priced in dollars).

    Now: Rand steady (R16.38/$)

The rest of commerce

Artive Capital doesn’t raise outside capital; it only trades and invests Artive’s own, and has no clients. This is a screen we use to decide where to look, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Prices are delayed and third-party data can be wrong; check with your broker before you act.

We don’t take outside money, but we always like talking markets and commerce.
