About this episode

This week on Breaking Down Markets, CNBC Africa’s Sally Sithole is joined by Zwelakhe Mnguni, Chief Investment Officer at Benguela Global Fund Managers, to explore what actually drives the movement of money through financial markets. Why do investors buy or sell? What role do interest rates, inflation, company earnings and global events play in market movements? And how much influence does investor sentiment have on where money flows? In this episode, we break down the forces that move financial markets, unpack how investors respond to economic and market signals, and explore what everyday viewers should pay attention to when markets rise or fall. Breaking Down Markets is the show where we bridge the gap between everyday investors and the world of financial markets, stripping away the jargon and making complex financial concepts simple, relevant and informative.
