[Full Show] G20 Conversations, Trump's BBB and New SA Visas

Loading player...
Market Matters
This week, we reflect on recent market volatility amid global uncertainty. We also look ahead to US earnings season set to kick off this week and how the performances of companies will influence sentiment. And we conclude the conversation with a look at G20 developments and their impact.

Deep Dive
We dive into the "Big Beautiful Bill" passed in the United States and try to make sense of its implications. We also debate some of the contradictions found in the legislation and attempt to conclude on the overall sense of the Bill.

Investor Insights
We look at the latest efforts by the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa to introduce new digital visa reforms into the country and the potential impact this would have on making the country more attractive and accessible. We also add a one-of-a-kind stock to our wall and wrap things up with our Unfiltered Opinion of the Week.
