Aiming to stem its currency’s year-long spiral, Ghana’s central bank has taken a range of measures in the last two months including a crackdown with security operatives on supposedly unlicensed black market sellers on the streets of Accra. But the monetary overseer may have to scrutinize its own actions to understand the cedi’s precarious state.
In August, the Bank of Ghana said it would buy dollars from mining and oil companies repatriating returns into the country. The bank chose this initiative to boost declining foreign exchange supply to the economy, expecting to raise up to $4 billion a year from the effort.

The BoG has reportedly raised $84 million from the procedure so far. But the move appears to be squeezing the local currency market aggravating the cedi’s devaluation, according to JPMorgan, the investment bank. The cedi has lost at least 52% to the dollar this year (as of Oct. 20) making it the worst performing of 148 currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
JPMorgan said the BoG’s decision to buy dollars off mining companies reduced foreign exchange availability within the interbank market, according to local media quoting the global firm: “To reduce volatility, we believe the BoG may need to use proceeds from mining sector FX purchases to increase interventions, or alternatively, reverse the FX purchase policy.”

At present, the BoG is only able to offer $25 million at its auctions, against a demand of $100 million.

Ghana is under pressure to reverse an economic slide that rolls back recent gains that had seen the country rated as one of the world’s fastest growing markets.
While discussions are ongoing on a $3 billion IMF bailout, groups within the country are pushing for other fixes. Last week, traders embarked on a three-day shutdown of stores. This week, many members of parliament asked president Nana Akufo-Addo to sack finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta, who has held the job since 2017.

It's Thursday, and it looks like cruise ship stocks are cruising for another bruising. An ill-timed insider stock sale at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE: NCLH), combined with a negative analyst note, torpedoed shares of the U.S.-based cruiser — and took shares of Carnival (NYSE: CCL) and Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) down with it. As of 11:05 a.m. EST today, shares of Carnival are sinking 3%, and Royal Caribbean is diving 4.3%.

On Wednesday, Vox published a bombshell interview with former crypto exchange FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, where the 30-year-old crypto trader all but revealed he had, in fact, co-mingled customer funds with those of his hedge fund, Alameda Research. This would be a problem on its own, as it violated FTX’s terms-of-service as well as likely falls afoul of wires or securities laws. Bankman-Fried’s crime, which “wasn’t quite lending [customer deposits] out” but something “messier,” “more organic” and “reasonable” than that, was compounded after a run on his exchange left up to one million FTX users without access to their funds.
Despite a down day for the broader market, several Chinese stocks ripped higher today after recent earnings results. Shares of the large Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) traded more than 8% higher as of 12:37 p.m. ET today. Shares of the Chinese electronic vaping company RLX Technology (NYSE: RLX) surged more than 20%, and shares of LexinFintech Holdings (NASDAQ: LX) jumped more than 22%.
There were no expense controls for employees whose expenses were approved by chat with personalized emojis, according to the new CEO.
Needham analyst Scott Berg reiterated a Buy On WalkMe Ltd (NASDAQ: WKME) with a $20 price target. WalkMe reported a solid 3Q22 with a modest revenue upside, a more robust gross margin, and operating expenses below his expectations. While net new ARR was lower than in recent quarters, the company strengthened by landing four >$1 million ARR customers during the quarter. DAP ARR growth exceeded 60%, and G2K customer expansion was up almost 10% YTD. WKME reiterated its goal of positive FCF by the e

Shares of Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST) were sliding today on no company-specific news. Instead, investors were concerned about comments made by a Federal Reserve official about rising interest rates. Investors are worried that ongoing interest rate hikes could spur a recession and the financial industry, which includes fintech companies like Upstart, is more sensitive to investors' concerns about an economic slowdown.
Shares of Tattooed Chef (NASDAQ: TTCF) crumbled on Wednesday after the packaged-food company announced its financial results for the third quarter. In other words, there are more Tattooed Chef products available to consumers than ever, but that's not translating into greater sales. The growth of Tattooed Chef's business hasn't led to greater sales, but it has led to greater expenses.
Large-cap stocks are getting knocked around in early trading Thursday, with shares of companies as varied as internet search titan Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), shipping giant United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS), and video streamer Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) all dipping into the red. As of 10 a.m. ET, Alphabet is trading 1.9% below yesterday's close, UPS is off 2.2%, and Netflix is down by 4.6%. As recently as last week, stocks were rallying on the good news that inflation rates were "only" 7.7% in October.
Cathie Wood kicked off the first two weeks of November with a buying spree. It certainly appears that the co-founder and CEO of Ark Investment Management has been combing through recent third-quarter financial reports in search of beaten-down tech stocks to buy, and some of her picks might surprise you. While other investors have left Roku for dead, Wood has been buying the streaming specialist's stock like there's no tomorrow, adding more than 250,000 shares to her various ETFs over the past two weeks alone.
The entire crypto industry has been struggling after the major crypto exchange FTX filed for bankruptcy last week following a liquidity crunch and opening of federal investigations into the actions of its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried. The crypto bank Silvergate Capital (NYSE: SI) has been hit particularly hard, with its stock down about 47% since the news about FTX started to break last week. Now there is chatter that Silvergate could be facing a run — when customers rush to withdraw their deposits because of concerns about the survival of the bank.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos, who founded the e-retail behemoth Amazon, has some spending tips as Americans gear up for a holiday shopping season — amid four-decade high inflation and recession worries. Why did Bezos offer the tip for consumers and small business to go easy on big-ticket items? “If we’re not in a recession right now, we’re likely to be in one very soon,” he said in the interview, picking up on his cautionary tweet last month that “the probabilities in this economy tell you to batten down the hatches.”
