DJIA strengthened by +1.88% on Wednesday (28/09), followed by the S&P500 (+1.97%) and the Nasdaq (+2.05%). Wall Street managed to rebound as the US T-note yield declined by 25.2 bps to 3.69% which was triggered by the British central bank (BoE) increasing its QE rate. Today, the market will be looking toward several data releases such as: 1) US GDP Growth Rate QoQ Final Q2; 2) US Core PCE Prices QoQ Final Q2; 3) Germany Inflation Rate YoY Prel Sep.
Domestic Update
• Foreign investors booked a net sell in the domestic equity market amounting to IDR2.51tn in the period 26-28 September 2022. MNCS Comment: Foreign net sell triggered JCI to weaken -1.41% WTD. We believe recent foreign net sell was driven by: 1) Fed's projection to increase FFR to FY23F; 2) strengthening the DXY index & 3) profit taking after JCI hitting ATH level.
• Furthermore, the national Covid-19 daily rate had increased by 1,915 active cases (28/09).
