Domestic Update
• The government issued 8 series of SUN (2 SPN + 6ON) worth of IDR15.2 trillion in the SUN auction on Tuesday (22/11/22). MNCS Comment: Yesterday's SUN auction result was better than the previous auction (08/11/22) as reflected in the number of incoming bids reaching IDR30.3 trillion (vs IDR23.0 trillion at the previous auction) and the weighted average yield won was lower. We see this improvement was driven by the recent downturn in global government bond yields in line with expectations of lower FFR increases in the upcoming meetings.
• Furthermore, the national Covid-19 daily rate had increased by 7,644 active cases (22/11).
