Johannesburg - Share prices on the JSE were flirting with a new record again in early trade on Friday, before buying interest cooled off with major indices in the red for most of the morning.
However, in early afternoon trade the intraday graph turned upwards again and the All-share index was again within striking distance of the all-time high of 52 996 points set earlier in the week.
At that stage it was only 0.01% higher at 52 841 points, while the Top 40-index was only 0.02% lower at 46 707 points. Of the major indices the Resources index recovered somewhat by 0.88% after losses over the previous two days, but the Financial index (-0.77%), the Industrial index (-0.29%) and the Gold index (-2.63%) were all lower.
