  • For the 1 month NDF we are now back above all key EMAs. The 20-day is nearby at 15655, btu hasn't been an important inflection point. The 100-day near 15575 has seen support emerge on dips close this level back to early Jan this year.
  • Mid Feb highs rest near 15730, while earlier Jan highs were above 15890.
  • Cross asset headwinds have emerged somewhat for the rupiah, with global equity momentum stalling somewhat in recent sessions, while US real yields hold sticky, the 10yr close to +2.00%. 5yr CDS has edged up from recent lows, last close to +70bps.
  • Local equities have traded on the back foot in recent session, with the 5-day average of foreign investor inflows now negative.
  • We have local debt auctions later, which may draw interest. Foreign inflows into local government debt securities have been negative in 2024 to date.
