- Kiwoom Securities recommends ADRO, BWPT, and NICL with RSI at 52, indicating healthy upward momentum not yet in overbought territory
Maximilianus Nico Demus of Pilarmas Investindo identified Iran's renewed diplomatic overtures toward the US as the primary catalyst behind today's JCI rally. President Trump confirmed openness to dialogue while maintaining the Hormuz blockade, which meaningfully reduced market fears of further escalation.
BRI Danareksa analysts noted the market appears increasingly adaptive to ongoing geopolitical developments. Indonesia's inclusion in the FTSE index is also providing additional positive momentum for domestic conglomerates, with the MSCI decision expected in May 2026.
Global Tailwinds Add Fuel
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones rose 0.63% and the S&P 500 gained 1.02%, according to Bloomberg data. The Russell 2000 outperformed with a 1.52% gain, reflecting a strong risk-on signal from US investors toward small-cap equities.
US 10-year Treasury yields eased to 4.29%, signaling reduced pressure in global bond markets. Markets are now watching for the US PPI release and Fed Beige Book, both scheduled for April 16, 2026.
Crude oil surpassed $102 per barrel due to the ongoing Hormuz blockade, according to RRI. Rising energy prices are lending support to Indonesia's mining and energy sector stocks listed on the IDX.
Investors seeking diversified exposure to the US market through SPY can track the S&P 500's 1.02% gain, which reflects improving global risk appetite. The shift in geopolitical tone is visibly flowing through from US markets into Asian equities.
Foreign Inflows and Stock Picks
Foreign investors pumped Rp396 billion into Indonesian equities during the opening session, according to RRI data. The anticipated MSCI rebalancing decision in May 2026 is adding to foreign interest in the Indonesian market.
Oktavianus Audi of Kiwoom Securities recommends ADRO with a support level at 2,390 and resistance at 2,600. BWPT is flagged with a price target of 156, while NICL carries a support at 855 and resistance at 1,085.
The JCI's RSI stands at 52 according to Kiwoom Securities, indicating upward momentum that remains healthy without entering overbought territory. This gives room for further gains if geopolitical conditions remain supportive.
For dividend-focused investors, ADMF offers a compelling yield of 6.9%, according to Kiwoom Securities data. CMRY and SIDO round out the defensive picks with yields in the 2.2% to 2.9% range.
China's Q1 2026 GDP growth is projected at 4.7% to 4.9% according to Bloomberg estimates, an important datapoint for capital flows into emerging markets including Indonesia. A strong reading could further amplify the risk-on trade across the Asia-Pacific region.
