Just noticed—South African retail sales climbed 3.5% year-on-year in November. Not huge, but it's something. When you're looking at macro trends, these data points matter. Economic resilience in emerging markets usually moves the needle on risk appetite in crypto markets. Worth keeping on the radar as we head into year-end.

3.5% what is that? This little growth in South Africa is not even enough compared to my airdrop earnings... But I do need to keep an eye on it. When emerging markets move, the crypto world immediately reacts.

South African retail data is picking up. 3.5% may not be much, but those who understand the fundamentals know what this means.

3.5% doesn't sound promising at all, why are emerging markets still so sluggish... but it's definitely worth paying attention to, maybe there will be surprises at the end of the year?

South Africa retail sales rose by 3.5%. It may seem insignificant, but details determine victory or defeat. The resilience of emerging markets often serves as a barometer for the crypto industry.

South African retail data is lukewarm, but the signal to bottom fish has arrived. When emerging markets move, the crypto circle follows suit. Keep a close watch before the end of the year.
