NEWS

  • America : Wall Street was mixed (S&P 500 -0.39%, Nasdaq -0.73%, Dow +0.11%), pressured by the surge in oil prices due to escalating Middle East tensions, which dampened hopes for peace. Although negotiations are still ongoing, threats to Iran’s energy facilities persist, increasing inflation risks and weighing on technology stocks. Meanwhile, dovish comments from Powell eased interest rate concerns and triggered selective buying. The UST 10Y yield declined to 4.33% amid falling rate expectations and a shift toward safe-haven assets.
  • Asia : Asian markets were mixed (Nikkei 225 -2.79%, KOSPI -2.97%, China SSE +0.24%, Hang Seng -0.81%) as the escalation of the US–Iran conflict heightened inflation risks and pressured growth, particularly for energy-importing countries. Selling was driven by geopolitical uncertainty and hawkish signals from the BOJ, with investors remaining defensive despite the emergence of limited buying interest.


MARKET UPDATE

  • The JCI closed slightly lower by -0.08% at 7,091, pressured by the escalation of the US–Iran conflict, which drove higher oil prices, rupiah depreciation, and foreign net selling. The financial sector declined (-1.17%), while the energy sector gained (+2.18%). Domestically, the market is monitoring fiscal efficiency measures (WFH & B50), the potential increase in non-subsidized fuel prices starting April 1, and uncertainty surrounding export duties on coal and nickel.
  • Bond market: The 10-year government bond (SUN) yield declined to 6.83%, reflecting selective buying, particularly by domestic investors, amid Bank Indonesia’s decision to hold rates and ongoing global volatility. Despite external pressures (elevated UST yields, energy inflation, and outflows), the bond market remains relatively resilient, supported by strong local demand and limited inflows sustaining prices.
