-GOVERNMENT BONDS-
FR0081 is flat ahead of the 3Q20 premiere SUN auction, posting prices and yields at 100.75 and 6.31% respectively, based on Bloomberg data. The movement of the FR0081 reference series is supported by high foreign interest in short tenors. Based on data from the Directorate General of Budget Financing and Risk Management (DJPPR), foreign ownership in the 1-year SBN tenure increased from 2.4% in 2019 to 3.3% in the June 2020 period. A similar case also occurred in 1-2-year tenors from 6.7% to 9.1% in the same period. In the previous Government Securities auction (SUN), FR0081 posted an incoming bid of up to IDR 27.94 trillion or 38.7% of the total incoming offer of IDR 72.03 trillion. We project market participants to return to high interest in FR0081, amid waiting for the June trade balance data release on Wednesday (07/15) and the BI 7-DRRR benchmark interest rate on Thursday (07/16).

-RECOMMENDATION-
June Trade Balance Projection USD 1.2 Billion Surplus. Market players’ optimism in the June trade balance will be better than the previous month. The projected trade balance surplus is driven by a decline in imports that exceeds the decline in exports, due to the still low manufacturing activity in Indonesia. While the decline in exports, is still happening in line with the low global manufacturing activity. For the record, almost all of Indonesia’s trading partner countries are still under indications of expansion. Besides FR0081, which has a high chance of attracting investors, market players can also look at the price of FR0082 towards par level, supported by liquidity and outstanding 10-year benchmark SUN.
