Global Market Highlights
DJIA weakened (-1.07%) on Wednesday (05/01) followed by S&P 500 (-1.94%) and Nasdaq (-3.34%). The US employment data (ADP Employment Change) for Dec-21 was released to be 807,000, higher than the market consensus of 400,000. This is indicated as a negative catalyst considering that when they are combined with the US inflation rate data for Nov-21 (6.8% yoy), these tend to be a concern for investors, because it will tend to make the Fed more hawkish and accelerate monetary tightening. Today, the market will be looking toward several data releases such as: 1) US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI; 2) Germany Inflation Rate YoY Prel; 3) Canada Balance of Trade (Nov).
Domestic Update
• Foreign investors booked a total net sell of IDR85 trillion throughout 2021 in the government securities market, making foreign ownership in tradable government securities dropped from 25.23% to 19.05%. MNCS Comment: Outflows from government securities started in Sep-21 and continue through Dec-21. We think that rising global inflation, quicker tapering process as well as the likelihood to raise interest rates aggressively in 2022 have triggered outflows from Indonesia's government securities. Despite the massive outflows, government bond yield change was relatively limited and still offer attractive valuation compared to peers.
• Furthermore, the second dose of vaccination rate nationally has reached 55.1% or equivalent to 114.69 million people.
