🌍 Goldman Sees Wave of South Africa Deals Fueled by Commodities

Goldman Sachs expects a busy year of mergers & acquisitions and investment activity in South Africa, driven by demand for commodities and structural reforms in the economy.

Key Points:

Commodity prices, especially gold and platinum, have surged — gold up ~73% and platinum more than doubling, boosting mining interest.

South Africa’s reforms to reduce power shortages and improve freight/rail infrastructure are improving investor sentiment.

Large deals like the Anglo American–Teck Resources merger and the spin-off of Valterra Platinum Ltd point to growing activity.

Why It Matters:

Africa’s largest economy could see increased capital inflows, especially in mining and infrastructure sectors, as the global commodity boom supports asset valuations and strategic deals.

Expert Insight:
Strong commodity pricing and structural reforms are creating conditions for South Africa to attract deals across mining, finance, and industrial sectors — potentially unlocking growth after years of slow expansion.

 Eric Trump, son of former US President Donald Trump, co-founded American Bitcoin just months ago (March '24). Now, a major move: Per SEC filings, his stake is set to convert into ~367 MILLION shares of Nasdaq-listed Gryphon Digital Mining ($GRYP) via merger.
