Weekly Market Recap 18 – 22 May 2026

Market Summary:

  • Global Equity: Mostly gain led by KOSPI (+4.73% WoW), Japan (+3.14% WoW), and Euro (+3.29% WoW) driven by better-than-expected AI related company earning result (NVIDIA), Middle East de-escalation hopes, and easing oil prices.

  • Domestic Equity: JCI down by -8.35% WoW driven by a domestic policy shock and currency stress. Foreign recorded net outflow : IDR 2.03tn WoW in all market.

  • Domestic Bond Market:  SBN 10Y yield stood at 6.74%. Foreign net inflow : IDR 2.7tn WoW (19/5)

Key News of The Week:

  • Indonesia posted CAD of US$4.0bn in 1Q26 (-1.1% of GDP) wider than 4Q25 (-0.7% of GDP), driven by seasonal income outflows, weaker commodity exports, and financial account pressures.

Our View

Market focus will be on US–Iran headlines and US data, with April PCE key for the growth and Fed “higher‑for‑longer” narrative. Domestically, potential regulatory changes and the 29 May MSCI rebalancing could trigger passive outflows, and although some selling has likely been pre‑empted, with only three trading days, flow execution may amplify short‑term volatility.

We currently maintain a defensive stance, with portfolios hedged against elevated geopolitical risk. Sector selection remains our key alpha driver, where we prefer to start building positions selectively while avoiding speculative trades. We also manage cash tactically to stay nimble and deploy into dislocated names when attractive bottom‑fishing opportunities emerge.
