JSE
Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE)
The Johannesburg Stock Exchange is Africa's largest market; its benchmark FTSE/JSE Top 40 holds Naspers, Anglo American and FirstRand among 40 blue chips — mining (platinum/gold/coal) and financials dominate the weight, making the index highly sensitive to commodity prices, the rand and local risks such as Eskom load-shedding. Sessions (South African time, UTC+2, no DST): 09:00–17:00, closed on weekends.
