Spring is just a transitional season when you would experience a period of rapid change and the environment is changing quickly. If you refer to ‘sleet’ and you are in the USA, you would mean ice pellets. But in North America, the astronomical system is the most common way to communicate about seasons changing. The remaining 31.9% voted to keep the dates of the seasons unchanged. So, the astronomical seasons are connected to the sunlight, which means that spring goes from September 23 when we are going to experience 12 hours of daylight, to the longest day of the year, December 22.

Perhaps we should all just agree on what we know to be true: spring actually starts the first day you notice the smell of jasmine on the breeze, you’ve put on a white T-shirt, forgoing your winter coat, and you find yourself sipping that first spritzer in the sun. Meanwhile, in parts of East Asia including Japan, Vietnam and Korea, seasons are charted according to 24 solar terms that refer to weather conditions on the North China Plain, regardless of local climatic patterns. Those who follow this calendar are looking forward to a change of season on September 8, when the white dew season will commence. One suggests that since Australia was founded after the Enlightenment it is predisposed to taking a scientific approach to things, another that the decision was influenced by the dates when colonial troops would change their uniforms. Okay, let us start by saying that while the vernal (spring) equinox will not occur until 11.03am on September 23 in the southern hemisphere this year, September 1 is officially considered the first day of spring in Australia. Well, we’re here to put this one to bed once and for all, so chuck a bookmark on it and save it for next year too.

I did think we tackled well, but we allowed them to control that game.” But Spring-Ford recovered the onside kick and embarked on a five-play scoring drive culminating in Will Fish’s barreling 16-yard scoring reception to ice the contest. Three minutes later, it was Mason Scott catching Matt Zollers’ third TD pass of the half on a 21-yard toss, set up by Mike Bendowski’s blocked punt. As much as there can be a ‘turning point’ in a 21-0 game that ends with a 20-point margin, Shyheem Taylor’s red-zone interception of Zollers in the third quarter marked the moment when Olney came to life. He returned the ball to the Rams’ 39, marking Olney’s best field position to that point.

SA and emerging markets have borne the brunt of the disappointment over news that inflation remains public enemy number one. But there are patches of light.

In the meantime, however, there are a number of other clouds that make winter weather in emerging markets more likely to hang around than sunny climes. Coronation Fund Managers is particularly positive on SA equities, with investment expert Neville Chester pointing out that the last time domestic equities looked this attractive, was 10 to 15 years ago. It says portfolio investment flow to China is a weathervane for China’s financial health and global investor confidence. That would give central banks “significant policy room” to support economic growth, he says. In July, non-resident outflows slows but didn’t reverse, and the latest bout of risk aversion could well see outflows continue into September. South Africa and emerging markets have borne the brunt of the disappointment that followed news that inflation remains public enemy number one, with major central banks unlikely to take their feet off the accelerator for some time yet. By the time the season’s change came around, the JSE All Share Index had lost close to double the US benchmark S&P 500 Index’s decline, with the former coming off 4.2% and the latter 2.4%. She believes higher rate hikes of around 100 basis points are unlikely, while lower 50-basis point ones “are quite possible, which is positive”. The potential for European stagflation is also contributing to a worrying outlook, with growing expectations that the European Central Bank may opt for a jumbo 75-basis point interest rate hike in the face of deteriorating economic prospects and its energy crisis.

Spring, it seems, is not in the air for South African and other emerging markets in the wake of the Jackson Hole central bank meeting at the weekend, with emerging market currencies and stock markets selling off more sharply than their developed counterparts on news that the world’s fight against inflation will continue unabated.
