⏳ One week to go! The final countdown is on.

The stage is set for the CFA Institute Research Challenge Local Final, with four university teams ready to go head-to-head.

🎓 Stellenbosch University
🎓 University of Cape Town
🎓 University of Pretoria
🎓 North-West University — competing in the Local Final for the very first time! 👏

Over the past few weeks, the teams have been diving into WeBuyCars, researching the company, analysing financial performance, exploring industry dynamics and building their investment recommendations.

As the official Data Partner, EquityRT has supported the teams with access to the data and research tools needed to strengthen their analysis and bring their investment cases together.

Now, the preparation turns into performance.

The teams will take to the stage on 22 October 2026 to present and defend their research and investment recommendations in front of a panel of industry professionals.

The final week starts now. Who will make their case?

📈 Chart of the Week: Is Inflation Complicating the Fed’s Next Move?

The US inflation outlook has become increasingly uneven, with headline consumer prices accelerating while underlying inflation continues to moderate. The latest available data show annual headline inflation at 3.4%, compared with core inflation at 2.4%, highlighting the growing influence of energy prices on overall inflation.

The divergence presents a challenge for the Federal Reserve. While softer core inflation and signs of labor-market weakness suggest that underlying price pressures are easing, renewed increases in headline inflation could complicate the case for pausing monetary tightening. The effective Federal Funds rate, at approximately 3.88%, remains above both inflation measures.

September's CPI report will therefore be a key test for markets. A stronger-than-expected reading could reinforce concerns about persistent inflation and keep Treasury yields elevated, while softer data could strengthen expectations for a Fed pause.

📈 Chart of the Week: Is the Fed Losing Control of the Long End?

The gap between the Federal Reserve’s policy rate and market interest rates has widened sharply. While the effective Fed Funds rate stands at around 3.9%, the 2-year Treasury yield has climbed close to 4.9% and the 10-year yield above 5.2%, reflecting a significant tightening in market-based borrowing costs.

The rise in the 10-year yield is particularly notable. Longer-term yields are increasingly reflecting not only expectations for Fed policy, but also persistent inflation risks, elevated energy prices, fiscal concerns and increased Treasury supply.

The divergence leaves markets facing an unusual policy backdrop: the Fed may be approaching a pause, but financial conditions are continuing to tighten through the bond market.

📈 Celebrating Student Achievements at Wits!

EquityRT recently partnered with the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) for an investment portfolio project, giving students the opportunity to put their research and analytical skills into practice.

The project required students to build and track a hypothetical investment portfolio consisting of five JSE-listed shares, using EquityRT to research companies and make informed investment decisions.

Students evaluated financial, strategic and sustainability-related factors, considered relevant risks and assumptions, and submitted written explanations justifying their share selections.

From 16 February to 15 September 2026, the portfolios were tracked, with the highest returns determining the winners.

🏆 Congratulations to our top three performers:

🥇 Tshephiso Mokonyane – 35% return
🥈 Leah Tager – 28% return
🥉 Sevti Moodley – 26% return

As part of the project, EquityRT provided gifts to the winning students in recognition of their achievements.

The project offered Wits students hands-on experience in investment research, portfolio tracking and the use of professional financial research tools.

Congratulations to the top 3 students for their efforts and achievements! 👏

📈 Chart of the Week: US Yield Curve Steepens at Historically High Rate Levels

US Treasury yields rose sharply during the week ended September 25 as markets continued to assess the Federal Reserve’s latest rate increase, persistent inflation pressures and the possibility of further monetary tightening.
As of September 25, the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 5.17%, compared with 4.81% for the two-year maturity. As a result, the 10-2Y spread widened from 25 to 36 basis points over the week.
The 10Y-3M spread also increased, from 87 to 93 basis points, while the 30Y-10Y spread remained broadly stable at approximately 32 basis points.

The movements indicate moderate steepening between short- and longer-term maturities rather than a uniform flattening of the curve. Persistent inflation concerns, elevated energy prices, fiscal uncertainty and heavy Treasury-supply expectations continued to place upward pressure on longer-term yields.

Why it matters: A steeper curve would normally be associated with stronger growth expectations. In the current environment, however, the steepening is taking place at exceptionally high yield levels and also reflects elevated inflation and fiscal risk premiums. Upcoming US employment and PCE inflation data will therefore be important in determining whether the curve steepens further or begins to flatten again.
