Risks

  • Continued weakness in the Infrastructure, Agriculture and Basic Industry sectors could sustain downward pressure on the IDX Composite - these sectors were explicit drivers of the session's decline.
  • Falls in global commodity prices - crude oil, Brent and June gold futures all declined during the session - represent an uncertainty for commodity-linked sectors and related market sentiment.
  • Currency volatility, as shown by a 0.35% rise in USD/IDR to 17,146.90 and a 0.44% fall in AUD/IDR to 12,264.81, could affect earnings and valuation dynamics for companies with FX exposure.
