Key Summary:
- 2Q seasonality tend to be weak
- Banks outflows, earnings could miss
- Gold momentum likely to continue
Our contrarian neutral to bearish view for IHSG in 2024 is starting to get noticed by the market after pushback from investors & traders in the last few months. IHSG closed -1.2% on the first day of April, marking the start of a seasonally weak 2Q and technically breakdown the trendline.
We remain risk-off, with exit level at 7,200-7,300 and entry level at 6,900-7,000. Our view stems from: unattractive macro in Indonesia, accelerating inflation, decelerating momentum, unfavorable government policy and depreciating IDR.
