It’s business without the boring bits with Bruce Whitfield.
In this episode, Bruce unpacks what a doubling oil price means for South African fuel costs, inflation, and the global economy – and why the US midterm elections may be the most powerful force pushing president Donald Trump toward an off-ramp.
Peter Armitage, CEO of Anchor Capital, discusses what’s really driving oil above $126 a barrel, what the UAE’s shock exit from OPEC means for the cartel’s future, and whether this is a temporary shock or something more structural.
Adri Williams, founder of Khayelitsha Cookies, reveals how a 100% women-owned biscuit business built in Mfuleni landed a R1.4 million export deal – and got its cookies onto British Airways flights.
Helena Wasserman, business editor at News24, provides insights on a divided US Fed, pressure on the rand, the end date of the fuel levy relief, and a landmark High Court challenge to the BEE legal sector code.
And Graeme Körner, founder of Körner Perspective, looks at why markets are surprisingly calm, what a brutal US earnings season is revealing, and where the real risks are hiding.
