Global Market Highlights
DJIA rose (+0.59%) on Tuesday (04/01) while the S&P 500 edged down -0.06% followed by Nasdaq (-1.33%). Investors are still optimistic about the Omicron variant which will not have a significant impact on the global economy, the weakening of technology stocks was a laggard for the S&P 500 index as concerns regarding the rising interest rates may have an impact on meeting its debt obligations. Another negative sentiment was the release of job vacancies data (JOLTs Job Openings) for Nov-21 which decreased to 10.56 million (vs 11.03 million in Oct-21) as the increase in Covid-19 cases created a number of mobility restrictions and affected retail shops. Today, the market will be looking toward several data releases such as: 1) US MBA Mortgage Applications; 2) Germany Markit Composite PMI Final; 3) Eurozone Markit Composite PMI Final.
Domestic Update
• The Ministry of Health reported 92 new cases of Covid-19 Omicron in Indonesia bringing the total cases to 254 (239 imported cases and 15 local transmission). MNCS Comment: Despite the mild symptoms experienced by patients, the Omicron variant seemed to have a faster pace of transmission compared to other variants. In only a matter of months, this variant has been found in 110 countries including Indonesia. With the recent development, we believe that Covid-19 remains a factor that may hinder the global and domestic economy to reach its full recovery.
• Furthermore, the second dose of vaccination rate nationally has reached 54.9% or equivalent to 114.30 million people.
