| The JSE soared more than 3% on Friday as optimism about recoveries in the US and European economies boosted equity markets across the globe. The main indices in the US rose 1.2% to 1.7%, while the UK's FTSE 100 added 1%. At home, resource stock led the charge, with the Resi 10 jumping 5% as shares including Glencore, Anglo American and African Rainbow Minerals all gained more than 6%. The industrial and financial indices both added more than 2%. Invicta was among the smaller stocks that did well after it cautioned shareholders that it was in talks regarding its Kian Ann subsidiary in Singapore, which it said could have a material effect on its share price. Grand Parade also ended higher despite posting a first-half loss due to the impact of Covid-19 on its casino investments.
