NEWS

  • America : Wall Street weakened sharply with the S&P 500 down 2.06%, the Dow Jones down 1.76%, and the Nasdaq down 2.39%, the deepest decline since October 2025 amid a surge in volatility and risk aversion. The pressure was triggered by Donald Trump's tariff threats against European countries, which increased the risk of a trade war, prompting a shift to defensive assets. The 10-year US Treasury yield rose to 4.29%, reflecting the repricing of long-term risk amid geopolitical uncertainty.
  • Asia : Asian markets weakened with the Nikkei 225 down 1.11%, KOSPI down 0.39%, and China's SSE down 0.01%, while the Hang Seng was up 0.29%, reflecting global risk-off sentiment following new US tariff threats that sparked concerns over regional export stability. Pressure was exacerbated by political uncertainty in Japan and the PBoC's decision to hold the LPR, confirming selective stimulus amid weak domestic demand in China.


MARKET UPDATE

  • The JCI strengthened to 9,134 (+0.01%), remaining in a consolidation phase. Investors are taking a wait-and-see approach ahead of the BI RDG, with the BI Rate expected to remain at 4.75% to maintain the stability of the Rupiah at Rp16,900 USD. The weakening of the Rupiah has encouraged selectivity towards exporter/commodity stocks, while import-cost stocks are under pressure. The rally remains solid, but volatility has increased in line with profit-taking after a long rally.
  • Bond market: The 10Y SUN yield rose to 6.31%, reflecting moderate selling pressure due to an increase in risk premiums amid the weakening of the Rupiah, as well as perceptions of the direction and independence of BI's monetary policy, which increased the demand for long-term risk compensation. Repricing was also triggered by the risk of foreign outflows and global uncertainty, although the market is watching for opportunities for the Fed Funds Rate to moderate towards the end of Q1-2026.
