Domestically, the weakening global stock market may potentially put pressure on JCI amid the lack of positive catalysts. Yesterday, despite declining, buying was seen which was marked by the formation of a hammer candlestick. For today, JCI is expected to move in the range of 6,000 – 6,300.
The technology sector has booked a significant rise of 65.31% since the beginning of the year.

The JCI continued to weaken, marked by a drop in prices of second-tier state-owned companies. However, positive news came from foreign investors who still booked a net buy of IDR 346 billion. Technically, the JCI tends to fluctuate with a range of movements at the level of 6,090-6,400.
The majority of Government Securities (SUN) were collected by market players yesterday, except for the 5-year tenor, 15-year tenor and 25-year long tenor which were relatively released by investors.
The lack of positive catalysts caused JCI to decline for the third day in a row. The attention of investors is focused on developments surrounding the polemic of the BPJS Employment investment fund. Technically, JCI today has the potential to rebound with a range of movement at 6,148 – 6,450.
The release of US GDP for the fourth quarter of 2020 will be a catalyst that can potentially move the market this week. Domestically, the lack of economic data release means JCI’s movement is tend to consolidate. However, investors will look forward to the result of the supervisory board selection for the Sovereign Wealth Fund.
The price of Government Securities (SUN) has been relatively under pressure for a week, amid expectations of economic recovery due to vaccinations.
