NEWS

  • America: Wall Street closed lower (Dow -0.59%, Nasdaq -0.05%, S&P 500 -0.19%) amid escalating Middle East tensions, despite Iran signaling a willingness to negotiate. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.59% following hawkish remarks from Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack, which increased market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike in September to 53%. Investors also remained cautious ahead of upcoming earnings releases from major technology companies.
  • Asia:  Asian markets were mixed (China SSE +0.85%, Hang Seng +2.36%, KOSPI -4.46%) amid concerns over the semiconductor sector and escalating Middle East tensions. The PBoC kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged, supporting optimism over China's policy outlook, while Japan's Nikkei 225 was closed in observance of Marine Day.

MARKET UPDATE

  • The JCI advanced to 6,231 (+0.91%), supported by continued net foreign inflows and bargain hunting in large-cap stocks. Market sentiment was also underpinned by expectations of liquidity stimulus and resilient corporate earnings. However, gains were capped as investors adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of Bank Indonesia's policy rate decision amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East.
  • Bond market: The 10-year Indonesian government bond (SUN) yield rose to 7.26%, reflecting profit-taking activity and investors' cautious positioning ahead of Bank Indonesia's Board of Governors Meeting (RDG BI) and the FOMC meeting at the end of July. The increase was also driven by expectations of higher interest rates, rupiah weakness, and a rising geopolitical risk premium.
