Global Market Highlights
DJIA weakened (-0.47%) on Thursday (06/01) followed by S&P 500 (-0.10%) and Nasdaq (-0.13%). Investors are still overshadowed by negative sentiment from the Fed which plans to accelerate monetary tightening. However, the weakening was relatively slow supported by the release of US labor market data where the weekly initial jobless claims (Initial Jobless Claims 01/01) reached 207,000 (vs 197,000 from consensus) and the continuous jobless claims (Continuing Jobless Claims 25/12) reached 1.75 million (vs 1.69 million by consensus). These two data from the labor market are considered to be a consideration for revisiting the plan to accelerate monetary tightening. Today, the market will be looking toward several data releases such as: 1) US Unemployment Rate; 2) US Non Farm Payrolls; 3) Eurozone Core Inflation Rate YoY Flash.
Domestic Update
• The IDR value has depreciated by 0.83% since the start of 2022. The IDR value closed at IDR14,396/USD (JISDOR) yesterday. MNCS Comment: We think that IDR depreciation against USD was due to Fed's hawkish stance to quicken tapering process, plan to reduce bond holdings in the balance sheet and earlier than expected rate hikes in 2022 to fight persistently high inflation.
• Furthermore, the second dose of vaccination rate nationally has reached 55.3% or equivalent to 115.08 million people.
