Meanwhile, the Unemployment Rate (June) rose 0.1% to 4.1%, which is the highest level in more than 2.5 years; while the increase in Average Hourly Wage slowed down, with the percentage growing 0.3% mom in June, down from 0.4% in the previous month. The data, which complemented last week’s US labor report, made the market reckon the chances of the US central bank easing policy in September jumped to 79%, from 66% seen before the data, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. EARNING SEASON: Shares of major US banks fell ahead of second-quarter corporate earnings reports starting next Friday. As noted, higher interest rates and an uncertain economic environment cast a shadow over US bank earnings.

In terms of economic indicators, German Industrial Production tumbled 2.5% in May, while the same data in France slumped 2.1%, revealing the weak economic performance in the Eurozone region heading into the summer months. The UK housing sector was equally unhealthy, with housing prices falling below expectations; Eurozone retail sales were similarly in a downward trend.

COMMODITIES: Crude OIL prices eased on Friday, but were on a positive track for the fourth consecutive week on hopes of strong summer fuel demand in the US. US WTI futures traded 0.4% lower at USD 83.71/barrel, while the BRENT contract dropped 0.3% to USD 87.15/barrel. Oil rose last week on expectations of strong summer demand in the United States, the world’s largest oil consumer, with official data from the Energy Information Agency (EIA) showing that US crude and fuel stocks fell more than expected last week.

Corporate News
SGER: IDR 1T Bond Release, Here’s Pefindo’s Explanation
PEFINDO assigned an idA- rating to PT Sumber Global Energy Tbk (SGER) and the plan to issue Shelf Registration Bonds I worth a maximum of IDR 1 trillion. The outlook on the company’s rating is stable. SGER plans to issue Shelf Registration Bonds I Phase I with a maximum value of IDR 500 billion, which will be used for debt repayment (25%) and working capital financing (75%). The rating reflects SGER’s conservative financial policy as well as its conservative capital structure and strong cash flow protection. However, the rating is constrained by limited product diversification and moderate financial flexibility. The rating could be upgraded if SGER is able to strengthen its business profile by further diversifying its products to reduce exposure to coal, while still maintaining stable profit margins, which will have a positive impact on the company’s financial profile and financial flexibility.
