🧠 What’s driving it:

• Global risk-off wave
• Collapse in precious metals, critical for SA exports
• EM funds pulling liquidity fast

📊 Trader lens:

• South Africa acts as a high-beta proxy for metals + EM risk
• When SA cracks this hard, it signals forced selling, not fundamentals
• Correlations spike → diversification fails

⚖️ Big picture: This isn’t an isolated EM story. It’s the same deleveraging pulse hitting commodities, crypto, and equities.

When frontier and EM markets start breaking, global stress is already well advanced.
