Wild swings in equity markets persist with each leg taking the indexes lowerin the US, with the S&P now close to confirming bear market territory.
Cryptos crashed on unstable coins. Meanwhile, the dollar surges and the rand’s battle to keep up shows with a loss of 10.8% to the greenback in a month, but ONLY down just over 1.4% year to date.
