𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐉𝐂𝐈 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞

The JCI reached an  intra-day low of 6,316pt yesterday, or  by -0.9% against the previous close ( 6,373pt) and at the intra-day high of 6,428pt, or by 0.8% against the previous close. In terms of daily magnitude of -0.9% to 0.8%, the JCI was trading within the historical usual range.

Nevertheless, stakeholders for Indonesia stock market may be precautious in the context of trading, for extreme hiccups  on the following possible triggers.

• Reading on the average of daily Positivity Rates (PR) for the last 7 days (week-ended 1/17) in the capital city Jakarta gives an alarming sense. The average figure pointed to 18.2% , representing an increase from the preceeding week of 15.7%, way off the most recent historical range of 11% – 13%.
• Total net buy of foreign investors year-to-date amounted to IDR10.4tr or representing 21.1% of the 2019 total net-buy figure of IDR49.2tr. This implies again of higher volatility should major other countries reverse current easy monetary policies.

However, Indonesia economy is expected to thread COVID-19 pandemic climate in a relatively better form as compared to other countries for the below factors, to name a few.

• Informal economies in the country has yet to be close-to-accurately calculated in the official GDP figure, we suspect, that implies private consumptions amount may be underestimated.
• Also, by the same argument, Gini Ratio index of the latest at 0.38pt may be overestimated, which implies a degree of difficulties to exactly pinpoint the negative impact of current COVID-19 pandemic crises to general private consumption.
• The country economy is very sensitive to the upsurge of commodities price

All in all, cautious optimistic approach should still be the current approach to the domestic stock market investment for both shorter and longer time horizon

At the other end, yesterday  the WTI price closed lower by 0.4% to USD52.2/barrel as compared  to the previous close USD52.4/barrel, off its 11-month high last week. Meanwhile, the USDIDR  closed  at IDR14,080  vs. IDR14,068 the previous one.

We advise the following recommendations, for both trading and longer-time investment purpose.
