RT @CNN Jimmy Carter, the son of a peanut farmer who served as America's 39th president, turns 95 today. He is the oldest living former U.S. president, a title once held by the late George H. W. Bush, who died in late 2018 at 94. cnn.it/2oOmHNF

RT @mikeschussler Does SA have time for another committee on the economy? The Finance minister has a plan on the table. What about this plan now? Ratings will fall if SA has another open-ended discussion. What then NDP, IPAP etc? SA has plans we need implementation 1/2

RT @WayneMcCurrie Rand 14.80 on back of reserve bank not cutting rates. Strange as interest rate differential actually increased, but actually based on potential growth path. Our sa growth potential actually lower because of no rate cut. Probably still one more cut this year

US Fed’s 25 bps drop in rates doesn’t impress Pres Trump. Markets generally mildly positive.
