As we rapidly approach our election (next week Wednesday for those not following local politics), the JSE Top 40 Index has hit top gear, influenced by both local economic indicators and global market trends.
The ZAR is trading at its best level for 2024, and a rally in commodity prices has led to a decent performance on our Top 40 so far for the month of May.
However, there's a whisper in the market that we might be nearing an overbought zone, hinting at a possible pullback!
As our analyst, Lester Davids, noted today:
“there are 13 shares in overbought status and 11 that are approaching overbought.”
This increased number of overbought shares raises the probability of profit-taking, volatility, and a potential short-term correction.
