NEWS

  • America : Wall Street advanced (Dow +0.19%, Nasdaq +0.10%, S&P 500 +0.19%), supported by the technology sector and AI euphoria, although sentiment remained overshadowed by U.S.–Iran tensions that pushed oil prices higher. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.41% amid inflation concerns. Investors are focusing on upcoming U.S. CPI/PPI data and the U.S.–China meeting as the next market direction indicators.
  • Asia :  Asian markets were mixed (China SSE +1.08%, Hang Seng +0.05%, Nikkei 225 -0.47%, KOSPI +4.32%). Gains were supported by optimism over China’s economic data and expectations surrounding a Trump–Xi meeting, but sentiment was weighed down by surging oil prices due to escalating U.S.–Iran tensions and risks surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. Market sentiment also came under pressure after Trump stated that the U.S.–Iran ceasefire remained fragile and described Tehran’s proposal as “Totally Unacceptable.”

MARKET UPDATE

  • The JCI declined to 6,905 (-0.92%), pressured by rupiah weakness, foreign net selling, and concerns over MSCI rebalancing. Negative sentiment intensified due to escalating Middle East geopolitical tensions that drove global oil prices higher, compounded by the confirmation of higher mining royalty rates starting in June 2026. Although the consumer confidence index remained stable at 123, the market continued to face selling pressure.
  • Bond market: The 10-year Indonesian government bond (SUN) yield rose to 6.59%, driven by rupiah depreciation, rising U.S. Treasury yields, and foreign investor profit-taking ahead of MSCI rebalancing. The increase reflected higher risk premiums amid concerns over Middle East geopolitics and surging energy prices, although domestic demand for SUN remained relatively solid.
