Gaza cease-fire talks progress with international mediators and Israeli negotiators meeting for a second day in Doha. Also on the show: Asia stocks trade higher after robust US jobs and consumer spending data ease recession concerns; Gaza reconstruction is estimated to cost $700 million and removing 42 million tonnes of rubble is expected to take many years; Johannesburg’s $12 billion infrastructure backlog has ramped electricity prices 60% for the city’s poorest citizens; JD.com shares surged in Hong Kong after earnings beat expectations, but rival Alibaba’s revenue missed estimates on weakness in core e-commerce.
Guests include Julia Roknifard, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Nottingham in Malaysia; Nicolo Bocchin, Global Head of Fixed Income at Azimut Group; Sim Tshabalala, Standard Bank CEO.
