IHSG Updates
JCI weakened -0.04% to 7,132.05 on Monday (29/08), followed by net foreign buy which reached IDR241.41 billion. The majority of sectors experienced weakness and weighed on the index pace, led by the technology sector (-2.23%) followed by the transportation sector (-1.34%). On the other hand, the strengthening sectors were led by the energy sector (+0.70%) followed by the non-cyclical sector (+0.40%). The weakening Wall Street and Asian markets overshadowed the movement of the index. Investors were worried about the Fed's hawkish statement at the Jackson Hole symposium, where the Fed will continue to tighten monetary policy aggressively and potentially slow down the pace of the economy, although a number of indicators such as inflation and personal spending have shown signs of slowing down. On the other hand, the Rupiah exchange rate closed lower at IDR14,897/USD. We estimate that the JCI will move in the price range of 7,000-7,160. Today's recommendation: EXCL, HRUM, INDF, INDY.
