    • Asset purchases are also to end in March, but what of the US$9trillion of bonds the Fed holds?

    • Rates are rising.
    • Inflation is at decade highs.

  • BHP Group* (JSE code: BHP) is unifying its dual-listed company (DLC) corporate structure effective close 28 January. This will count as a CGT event for shareholders who will have been deemed to have sold their shares and bought the new ones.
  • Microsoft (Nasdaq code: MSFT) is buying Activision-Blizzard for $69 billion, but who's the largest gaming company in the world? Tencent (Hong Kong code: 700).
  • German 10-year back above 0%.

* I hold ungeared positions.

Now for the tenth year in a row, we kick off the new year with a predictions show.

Marc AshtonKeith McLachlan and Simon Brown put their heads on the block with three wild and woolly predictions for the markets for 2022 followed by a call on the Top40 and ZAR for the year ahead.

Importantly we start each show with a review of the previous year’s predictions and you’ll find the 2021 predictions show here.
