The third quarter of 2023 was not the greatest for the top 40 companies on the JSE as 23 of the top 40 companies were in the red. This was due to elevated interest rates, rail issues and continuous load shedding, resulting in a decrease in performance across most sectors.

As at the 31st of July, the Satrix 40 ETF closed at R73.53. That’s an increase of 3.2% over the past month (R71.27), and while it’s just not quite (K)enough to surpass that 10% mark, that means an impressive 9.3% increase from the beginning of the year (R67.28).
