Morning,
The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) today (19/8) is expected to hover between ย 5,200pt โ 5,400pt to be in profit-taking mode but supported by stable USDIDR and oil close. At the other end, the central bank Bank Indonesia end of monthly meeting release today is expected to provide support.ย Market participants expects the reference rate of BI7DRRR to be held unchanged at 4%.
As new cases of COVID-19 consistently rising in the capital city, Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan was quoted in the news to consider to re-implement the limited lock-down as was the case in early March. Current transition of limited lock-down will end on August 27, until when the regional government will monitor the COVID-19 ย spreading condition.ย Latest data on 3-weeks positivity rate in Jakarta was 8.9%, much higher than that of previously and of international threshold of 5%.
Decision for the capital city Jakarta to return to the previous limited lock-down mode (whereby businesses is prohibited to operate vs. currently permitted at 50% of capacity) ย will cause a hiccup to the current trend of the Jakarta stock market, in our view.

Indonesia Julyโs trade figure came out with a net surplus of USD3.3bn , the highest since February ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย and bringing total surplus to USD8.8bn in the period of seven months until July this year (7M20) vs. a deficit during January 2019-July 2019 (7M19) of USD2.2bn , and vs. a total deficits of USD3.6bn last year.

In July 2020, 5 (five) biggest contributors to the monthly ย increase of non โoil & gas exports value include those of Gold, Jewelry and Pearl of USD452.7mn (July 2019:none), Fat and Vegetable Oils of USD247.9mn (July 2019: none), Vehicles and spare-parts of USD 144.3mn (July 2019: USD302.2mn), Iron & Steels of USD134.3mn (July 2019: none), ย Machineries / equipment of USD96.0mn (July 2019: USD221.2mn).
With non-oil export contributed to around 95% of total export , the above of July export movement was in-line with the slowing economic growth of main exporting countries that is China, Japan, and the United States.

The above movement of import trade value was also consistent with the pandemic-related shift of activities pattern, in our note, whereby non-essential goods import decreased in a higher rates.
As higher surplus brings in more foreign exchange that eventually create appreciation to the local currency IDR, trade profile during the pandemic context may provide a better base for sustainably better trade profile, in the future, in our note.
