Global Market Highlights

DJIA fell by -0.58% on Wednesday (17/11) followed by S&P 500 (-0.26%) and Nasdaq (-0.33%). Wall Street ended lower due to investor’s concerns towards inflation and supply chain problems impacting retail business operations and consumer spending. UK’s Inflation Rate went up by 4.2% YoY on October-21 from previously at 3.1% YoY due to rising fuel and energy prices, higher bills in restaurants and hotels, as well as the costs of raw materials and goods in factories. In addition, US Building Permits grew by +4% MoM on October-21 from previously contracted by -7.8% MoM indicating a high housing demand in the future.

Domestic Update
• Bank Indonesia (BI) will announce its policy rate today and is expected to leave interest rates unchanged, BI 7 Day Reverse Repo Rate at 3.50%; Lending Facility Rate at 4.25% and Deposit Facility Rate at 2.75%. MNCS Comment: Low inflation, stable Rupiah and the need to spur growth, maintaining interest rates at current level is the right policy despite rising concern on higher inflation globally. We expect the interest rates to be kept unchanged at least until the end of this year before normalization and tightening is likely to take place next year.
• Furthermore, the second dose of vaccination rate nationally has reached 41.2% or equivalent to 85.76 million people.

Also, PRDA is optimistic that the company can absorb the company’s capex for FY21E because there are still additional expenditures for IT that have not been realized.

IHSG Updates
JCI strengthened by +0.37% to 6,675.80 on Wednesday (17/11) followed by net foreign sell reaching IDR824.89 billion. JCI closed higher, with the strong sector led by the industrial sector (+1.51%), followed by the transportation sector (+1.40%). On the other hand, the non-cyclical consumer sector weakened -0.45%, followed by the basic industrial sector (-0.44%). The strengthening of the JCI was driven by the strengthening of the Wall Street market last night and the market's optimism about the BI board of governors meeting which is expected to keep interest rates at a low level until the end of next year. On the other hand, the Rupiah weakened at IDR14,243 level in the spot market. We estimate the JCI will move in the range of 6,630-6,680 while waiting for the interest rate decision. Today's recommendations: ADHI, IMAS, AISA, EXCL.
