The JSE FTSE All Share Index fell 0.12% as global macroeconomic uncertainty and recession fears weighed on investor sentiment. South African financial stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off, with Standard Bank plunging 8.48% amid broad sector weakness.

Gold mining stocks emerged as a rare bright spot, attracting safe-haven demand as market volatility persisted. The precious metal’s traditional role as a store of value regained relevance during the risk-off environment.

Notably, the JSE Top 40 Index showed technical resilience, breaking out of a prolonged trading range. This bullish divergence suggests latent recovery potential should macroeconomic headwinds abate.
