Global Market Highlights
DJIA weakened -0.45% on Monday (10/01) followed by S&P 500 (-0.14%), while Nasdaq advanced +0.05%. The weakness that occurred over the past few days has begun to be used by investors to return on buying (bargain hunting) as seen from the relatively limited S&P 500 and the Nasdaq which were closed in the green zone. DJIA continued to be corrected after Goldman Sachs on Sunday (09/01) released an estimate of a 4x increase in the benchmark interest rate in 2022. Furthermore, the movement of the index will be determined by the release of the issuer's financial statements and the development of the Covid-19 case. Today, the market will be looking toward several data releases such as: 1) US Fed George Speech; 2) US Fed Chair Powell Testimony; 3) Japan Coincident Index Prel.

IHSG Updates
JCI weakened -0.15% to 6,691.12 on Monday (10/01) followed by net foreign buy reaching IDR249.49 billion. A number of sectors that weighed on the index were the technology sector (-3.52%) followed by the cyclical sector (-1.29%). On the other hand, the health sector strengthened +1.78% followed by the financial sector (+1.11%). The release of Bank Indonesia data regarding the Consumer Confidence Index which stood at 118.3 for the month of Dec-21 (vs 118.5 Nov-21) illustrates the consumer's condition towards a relatively stable economic condition that has not been able to match the market's fears of the spread of Covid-19 cases. 19 variants of Omicron as well as US monetary tightening that threatens stock markets around the world have an impact on the JCI. With the existing negative catalysts, investors tend to shift the composition of their portfolios to sectors in finance and health, another sector that can be monitored is the energy sector, especially coal, triggered by the opening of export options for coal considering the need for PLN which is starting to be fulfilled. On the other hand, Rupiah closed lower at IDR14,308/USD level. We estimate that the JCI will move in the range of 6,593-6,750. Today's recommendations: BBYB, BUKA, TKIM, ACES.
