‘n Paar Indiër broers Raees (17) en Ameer Cajee (21) het verdwyn, tesame met Bitcoin ter waarde van $ 3,6 miljard vanaf hul kriptokurrency-beleggingsplatform. ‘n Kaapstadse regsfirma wat deur beleggers / slagoffers aangestel is, sê dat hulle die broers nie kan opspoor nie, en het die saak by die Valke, ‘n elite-eenheid van die nasionale polisie, aangemeld. Kripto-uitruilings platforms regoor die wêreld is ook in kennis gestel sou die Cajee broers probeer om die digitale munte om te skakel.
It’s still all about the US
The local unit scored somewhat of a consolation goal on Friday (sorry Argentina fans), as global equities and EM markets ended the week stronger.
Eyes are still on the US though as June Fed minutes and job numbers will be out later this week. The data, coupled with escalating trade tensions between the US and China, could provide more volatility than the Spain vs. Russia penalty shootout.
On local shores, consumers are set to be hit with another sucker punch as the price of petrol is set to increase by 26c/litre. Combine this with higher municipal rates, taxes and electricity tariffs and you’ve got yourself an already overworked wallet. Have a great week and batten down the hatches if you’re in the Cape!
