What does the JSE rule tightening mean for the All Share Index?
The announcement may pressure the JALSH in the near term as traders price in lower liquidity from reduced algorithmic activity, though long-term benefits could emerge from improved market stability.

The new access rules could create additional compliance hurdles for foreign participants, potentially deterring some capital inflows and adding near-term volatility to the index.
