IHSG: Waiting for Reversal, Remain on the Sideline

Key Summary:
- What happened in August
- IHSG driven by selective stocks
- Foreign flows up, but lack conviction
In early August, we called to stay away from equity (read here: Starting August with A Crisis) as it appeared that markets were heading into downside due to deleveraging of carry trade and US data indicating a slowdown.
However, the correction turned out to be short-lived, so we were wrong (at least in the short-term) especially since we missed IHSG rally in the past few weeks.
