Financial group BayHill Capital has published an inforgraphic summarising the events and situations that shook up the JSE in 2017.<\/p>\n

2017 was a turbulent year, both politically and economically in South Africa and abroad.<\/p>\n

The country faced internal political conflicts as divisions in the ruling ANC led to a number of political appointments and firings which hit the economy hard – while globally, the world had to deal with the new reality of a Trump-led United States.<\/p>\n

Economically, South Africa faced a brief technical recession amid dropping business and consumer confidence, while on the global scale crpytocurrencies were the hot take of the year, where investors saw Bitcoin climb to unthinkable highs.<\/p>\n

Despite the ups and downs, BayHill’s data shows that the JSE All Share had a strong year, growing 14.1%, or 7,178.86 points.<\/p>\n

The market saw a high of 61,211.52, and a low of 50,474.95, a fluctuation of 10,736.57 points throughout the year. The All Share started 2017 at 51,020.66 – compared to the start of 2018, where it sat at 58,199.52.<\/p>\n

This is what rocked the JSE in 2017.<\/p>\n
