NEWS

  • America : US stock markets closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. However, risk-off sentiment was reflected in the weakening of futures indices throughout the holiday, reflecting investor caution regarding geopolitical risks and global trade policy uncertainty.
  • Europe: European markets closed lower with the European STOXX 600 Index falling 1.2%, the sharpest daily decline in the last two months, triggered by political tensions over President Trump's threat of tariffs against eight NATO member countries if they oppose Trump's plan to take control of Greenland, as well as economic data from China.
  • Asia : Asian stock markets closed mixed this afternoon with a risk-off sentiment amid geopolitical escalation and US tariff threats. Pressure was seen in the Nikkei 225, which fell 0.65%, and the Hang Seng, which weakened 1.05%. On the other hand, the Kospi rose 1.32%, driven by positive sentiment toward domestic technology stocks, while China's SSE rose 0.29%, showing the resilience of the Chinese stock market despite slowing growth momentum.

MARKET UPDATE

  • The JCI hit an ATH of 9,133 (+0.64%), driven by foreign funds, especially into big cap banking and consumer cyclicals, with strong liquidity (transaction value of IDR 35.7 trillion) ahead of the release of FY2025 performance of major banks. Domestic sentiment remains positive amid expectations that Bank Indonesia will hold interest rates steady, although external risks limit room for further increases and open up opportunities for short-term profit-taking.
  • Bond market: The 10Y SUN yield rose to 6.28%, reflecting light selling pressure triggered by rising global yields as the 10Y UST remained high. Rupiah volatility and foreign investor outflows in medium to long tenors also weighed on the bond market. The widening SUN-UST spread indicates an increase in risk premium, reinforced by rebalancing into equities amid the JCI's record momentum.
