Last week Lester highlighted APN as as "opportunistic buy" after the fall from R290. It looks like R263 to 264 is still a level where buyers have lined up to take advantage of the fall. This is also in line with the 50dma. Once again stay cognizant of the USDZAR. MariusGrobler301 is having a look at this trade for our clients.
