IHSG Updates
JCI strengthened by +1.05% to 7,160.38 on Thursday (11/08), followed by net foreign buy which reached IDR661.65 billion. The majority of sectors experienced strengthening and boosted the index rate, led by the technology sector (+2.76%) followed by the raw materials sector (+1.96%). On the other hand, the only weakening sector was the cyclical sector (-0.13%). The index's gains were supported by the release of US inflation data on Jul-22 which grew slower by +8.5% YoY (vs 9.1% YoY in Jun-22), or below market expectations of +8.7% YoY. This had fostered optimism among market players amid concerns over the potential for a global economic recession. On the other hand, the Rupiah exchange rate closed higher at IDR14,768/USD. We estimate that the JCI will move in the price range of 7,100-7,200. Today's recommendation: ADRO, BBYB, BNBA, MPMX.
