Marketplayers would watch
on domestic macro economic data, especially inflation and trade balance.
Meanwhile the external factor like political tension in East Europe and banking
crisis in Portugal were still not giving any significant effect.
Firstly, economic growth in Q-2 was predictably better
than Q-1 which was only 5.21%. The Idul Fitri factor was one of the cause of
increasing economy.
Economic growth in Q-2 might reach 5.25% - 5.35%. The
reason was that public consumption would move up due to the Lebaran factor.
Direct investment would still be dynamic. Companies were running new factories
and engine overhaul to jack up production output dure to Lebaran.
Moreover new investment would contribute significantly to
growth in Q III and IV; this was because by that time political was showing
certainty. The next Government and their economic course was getting clearer
and the good prospect would invigorate investment. Economic growth in Q 2 might
come to 5.3%
Secondly the Central Statistics Board [BPS] reported that
inflation in July 2014 was posed at 0.93%. Meanwhile inflation rate y o y from
July 2013 to July 2014 was posted at 4.53% - while inflation by calendar year
was posted at 2.94%. Inflation in core component was posted at 0.52%.
Inflation in July 2014 was posed at 0.93% was contributed
by food 1.94%, ready food, cigarette and tobacco 1% clothing 0.85% and
transportation, communication and financial service 0.88%.
Thirdly, BPS also disclosed that Indonesia’s trade
balance in June 2014 posted deficit of USD 0.3 billion. Trade balance in non
oil-gas commodities posted surplus of 0.3 billion while trade balance in the
oil gas sector posted surplus of 0.3 billion while trade balance in the oil gas
sector posted surplus of 0.13 million tons and in non oil-gas posted surplus of
32.1 million tons.
Export in June 2014 came to USD 15.42 bullion, consisting
of oil-gas was USD 12.63 billion. Import in June 2014 came to USD 15.72 billion
consisting of oil gas 3.39 billion and non oil gas export USD 12.33 billion.
Accumulatively, trade balance in January-June 2014 or in
Semester I-2014 posted deficit of USD 1.16 billion consisting of deficit in
oil-gas USD 6.12 billion while non oil gas posted surplus of USD 4.96 billion.

The Moneymarket
Rupiah during initial session in Jakarta o Tuesday [5/8]
strengthened by 16 points to become Rp11,727 per USD against the previous
position at Rp11,743 per USD. Rupiah was still in positive zone although being
overshadowed by increased interest by the Fed.
Inflation data this year at 0.93% which was below the
psychological level of 1% was still supportive to Rupiah value which
strengthening effect was predicated at home. However, the strengthening effect
was predicated to be only temporary. For the long term, Rupiah strengthening
was still was still overshadowed by Indonesia’s trade balance which posted
deficit. In June 2014 Indonesia’s trade balance posted deficit of USD 305.1
million. For the long term, data of Trade balance was still negative sentiment
to Rupiah.
Besides, weakening of some currencies in some developing
countries would influence Rupiah value against USD. The case of default in
Argentine and banking crisis in Portugal would affect Rupiah negatively. Dollar
index was still consistent in maintaining strengthening trend especially after
announcement of America’s bettered GDP in QII and execution of monthly
Quantitative Easing at USD 25 billion last week.
Rupiah strengthening trend was losing steam by end of
July [29/7] last year as unemployment level in the USA was announced. The
impact of USD strengthening at the global money market was still felt as all
Asian currencies weakened against USD. After Idul Fitri lon holiday, USD was
seen to strengthen to suppress Rupiah down to Rp11.803 per USD. [257].
Perhaps a little positive sentiment was seen for Rupiah
coming from BI’s policy on forex term deposit for Syariah banking. The Syariah
forex term deposit was the first Syariah monetary operation instrument of BI in
foreign currency. The rules for this instrument was written in BI’ Regulation
No. 16/12/PBI/2014 on Syariah Monetary operations.
Generally speaking the Syariah Forex Deposit term
features were based on Ju’alah Testament, i.e. ilitzam or commitment to give
lwadh.ju’l or certain reward over natijah [obtained yield] determined by a
certain task.
Forex Term Deposit would be released in the form of USD
through auction, participated by Syariah Bank and Syariah business units who
had forex reserve permit. Syariah forex Deposit term could be issued for tenure
of one day up to 12 months. To such instruments BI would offer reward which
would be liquidated before early redemption.
Spontaneously the Syariah banking industry welcomed
issuance of this new instrument to probe deeper on Syariah financial market.
This newly released instrument by BI could prevent forex from flowing out of
the country and improve Syariah liquidity.
Syariah Forex banking by volume was limited but the
nature was case-by-case where certain banks had limited volume or even over liquid
because the outlet for forex financing of Syariah banking tend to be small. The
widening choice for liquidity managing instruments was expected to enhance role
of the Syariah banking sector in financing economic growth.
From the above picture presumably Rupiah exchange rate
value on Tuesday afternoon [5/8] was predicated to move in the range of
Rp.11,725 – Rp.11,765 per USD to continued over the week in the range of Rp.11,650
– Rp.11,700 per USD on condition that outcome of Constitutional Court in the case
of Prabowo-Hatta protest would conclude in happy ending.

IHSG potential to increase during closing session last
Tuesday [5.8] which was predicated to be in the range of 5,125 – 5,175 moreover
index of shares to serve as benchmark would become more varied. In the near
future, BEI would jack up BUMN index which consisted of 12 most liquid and most
active BUMN emitens.
Index of BUMN would be launched in September this year.
BUMN index was expected to serve as reference to investment managers to develop
derivative product like the Exchange Trade Fund [ETF] or Reksadana insurance
products. Index of BUMN was born as there was investors’ demand. BUMN shares
had been investors’ target foreign or local as they had strong capitalization
and fundamentally prospective.
So far many investors live to buy BUMN shares. If the
combined index was there in would be easy for investors to collect them;
besides BUMN index was a reflection of national economic growth. BEI expected
that Government owned companies [BUMN] could be encourage to play at the
stockmarket. Some BUMN shone bright after being listed at BEI.
Of around 20 BUMN emitents listed at BEI, only 12 shares
would be chosen to be included in BUMN index. BEI would do screening based on
market capitalization, trading transaction and fundamental performance. Thereby
BUMN emitents would be motivated to keep on improving their fundamental
performance.
For information, based on BEI statistical data, of 10
biggest capital in the stockmarket 5 were BUMN emitents, they were : PT Bank
Rakyat Indonesia Tbk [BBRI], PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk [TLKM], PT Bank
Mandiri Tbk, PT PGAS, and PT Semen Indonesia Tbk [SMGR]. (SS)
