Fragile Rally



Global Markets

Global markets rebounded strongly last week, driven by easing U.S.-Iran tensions that weighed on oil prices and a strong tech sector. Europe and Wall Street posted weekly gains despite being held back by inflation and profit-taking. As we enter this week, the focus shifts to Q1 earnings (banks & tech) and further inflation data (PPI), with market direction heavily dependent on corporate performance, signals from the Fed, and geopolitical developments; as a result, volatility is expected to remain high even though the overall bias remains positive.


Indonesian Markets

Indonesian stock market rose again due to improving global sentiment and an influx of foreign capital, supported by the energy sector and strong corporate performance. Although the rupiah weakened, the market remained relatively stable; however, the rally remains temporary amid risks of net foreign selling, rupiah volatility, and fiscal concerns. Looking ahead, the market is expected to move sideways with a slight upward bias, supported by the dividend season and Q1 earnings reports, but it remains sensitive to movements in U.S. yields, oil prices, and global geopolitical conditions.


Weekly Highlight on Economic Indicators


Our Take:

JCI increased by 6.14% over the week to 7,458 as global sentiment improved (the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and the return to normalcy in the Strait of Hormuz), which calmed the market and caused oil prices to fall. The rise was also supported by increased trading volume and strength in major sectors such as energy, industry, and banking. Although the market appears to be recovering, this rally remains fragile as foreign capital flows remain unstable, the rupiah remains weak, and the market remains sensitive to global conditions.
