Global Markets

Global markets traded mixed last week amid U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions, a surge in oil prices, and a correction in tech and AI stocks due to high valuations. Despite strong bank earnings, investors engaged in profit-taking in the tech sector. Next week, the focus shifts to Big Tech earnings, economic data, and geopolitical and oil developments. Solid earnings could potentially drive a rebound, but inflationary pressures and high valuations remain risks for volatility.


Indonesian Markets

Indonesian market posted an impressive performance last week, with the IHSG rising sharply and trading volume and value increasing significantly, supported by strong domestic catalysts (the S&P rating, investment realization, and the rupiah’s rebound), even though foreign investors remain net sellers YTD. This week, investors’ focus is on the BI Rate, corporate earnings, the stability of the rupiah, and global sentiment. The momentum is likely to continue, but investors should remain cautious of profit-taking and global volatility.


Weekly Highlight on Economic Indicators


Our Take:

JCI rose 4.24% WoW to 6,175, supported by a surge in trading activity, domestic buying interest, the stability of the rupiah, and positive sentiment stemming from S&P’s BBB rating with a stable outlook.
