-GOVERNMENT BONDS-
The decline in Cadev depresses SUN prices. The closing price of SUN on Wednesday was relatively weak. The rupiah is influenced by domestic sentiment on foreign exchange reserves (cadev) and the action against the Job Creation Act. In terms of yield, all benchmark SUN experienced a rise in yield, with the benchmark FR0082 10-year tenor rising 1.4 bps to 6.87%. Cadev Indonesia for the September 2020 period fell by almost USD 2 billion from the previous month. Bank Indonesia (BI) reported that cadev at the end of last month was worth USD 135.2 billion, down from USD 137 billion in the previous month. This decline was influenced by the payment of government external debt and the need to stabilize the rupiah exchange rate. Apart from that, yesterday’s bond market movement was also influenced by the pros and cons of ratifying the Ciptaker Law by the DPR. It is feared that this action will disrupt domestic stability, which will make foreign investors cautious about investing in Indonesia.

-MACROECONOMY-
External Fluctuations Affected Cadev September 2020. After scoring a record high of USD 137.0 billion, Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves (cadev) in September 2020 began to decline. Bank Indonesia (BI) noted that the position of foreign exchange reserves in September 2020 was USD 135.2 billion or decreased by USD 1.8 billion from the position in August 2020. The decline in foreign exchange reserves in the reporting month was due to external conditions that depressed the rupiah exchange rate and make central bank intervention increase. External sentiment such as elections in the United States (US), and foreign investors’ capital outflow. From within the country, the still high number of Covid-19 cases affected economic movements. In September 2020, the rupiah was in the range of IDR 14,900 / USD. The movement of foreign exchange reserves was still influenced by external turmoil which was also influenced by the Covid-19 conditions. (Kontan)

-RECOMMENDATION-
Investors Pay Attention to US Monetary Policy. This sentiment will influence the movement of the rupiah. The Fed will release the minutes of the FOMC meeting on Thursday (08/10) Indonesian time, which projects that the Fed’s stance will still be dovish. The US Central Bank is projected to keep interest rates low until 2023. This dovish attitude has the opportunity to strengthen the rupiah. Until now, polls have shown that the Democrats are still ahead, pressing the US dollar exchange rate as a safe haven. In the short term, investors can again take advantage of selective buying action FR0086 and FR0087 which are close to 7% yield.
