Why Nvidia’s earnings matter more than ever
Nvidia’s latest results may have confirmed something far bigger than just another earnings beat. AI is no longer merely a software-driven theme. The next phase is increasingly centred on the infrastructure required to support large-scale deployment.

Tech Tuesday
Volatility rises as markets search for direction.
Tuesday, 26 May 2026
Markets remain directionless at the index level, with consolidation the dominant theme across the J40, rand and key commodities. Beneath the surface, however, a number of JSE-listed counters are beginning to show cleaner technical setups, with bullish reversals emerging across Resources, Financials and Industrials.
J40 Cash Index
The J40 has broken both above and below last week’s trading range as volatility accelerates. While the latest move favours upside towards 109,232, conviction in sustained direction remains low as markets continue alternating between gains and losses.
Gold
Gold remains trapped in a short-term consolidation within a broader consolidation range, reinforcing the lack of directional intent. Traders may either continue trading the range or wait for a confirmed breakout before committing to direction.
USD/ZAR
USD/ZAR briefly broke below support at 16.29 before reversing higher intraday. A positive close would favour a move back towards resistance at 16.75, while renewed weakness would confirm a downside break targeting 16.14.
Brent Crude Oil
Brent crude has pulled back sharply from resistance at 112.54 and now trades in oversold territory within a broader uptrend. A bullish reversal from current levels would favour a move back towards 105.28 resistance.
