The JSE closed firmer on Wednesday, as investors digested US President Donald Trump’s decision to halt fiscal stimulus talks.
Trump sent markets into a tailspin when he tweeted that he had issued instructions to “stop negotiating until after the election” on a new stimulus plan. Trump’s tweet came only hours after US Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell warned that the economy needed more fiscal aid to strengthen its recovery.
