Banking, financial services, retail, consumer goods and consumer services stocks led the surge on the JSE — largely SA Inc stocks.
The JSE broke through the key 81 000 points mark, hitting a record high on inauguration day yesterday — a jump of around another 2 percent.
Africa’s biggest bourse hit 81 364 points for the first time, with SA Inc stocks again leading the charge.
In a welcome bout of optimism to hit the JSE, the bourse saw around R36 billion in trade on Tuesday, to close 3,5 percent stronger.
Tuesday’s close was its biggest surge in a single day this year, on the back of market cheer around SA’s planned government of national unity (GNU), which will include the ANC, DA, IFP, PA, Good party, PAC and possibly others.
