Rupiah terpantau lesu di hadapan dolar Amerika Serikat (AS) sepanjang pekan lalu. Menurut data dari Refinitiv, rupiah turun tipis 0,03% secara point-to-point (ptp) ke posisi US$ 16.360 pada Jumat (17/1/2025).
Melemahnya rupiah terjadi setelah Bank Indonesia (BI) mengumumkan pemangkasan suku bunga acuan (BI-Rate) sebesar 25 basis poin (bps) menjadi 5,75% pada Rabu pekan lalu. Keputusan ini di luar ekspektasi pasar dan terjadi di tengah tekanan besar terhadap rupiah.
gubernur BI, Perry Warjiyo, menegaskan bahwa penurunan BI Rate ini sejalan dengan pandangan bank sentral yang ‘pro-stability and pro-growth’. “Ini pun sejalan dengan masih terbukanya ruang penurunan suku bunga. Melihat dari momentumnya, BI menilai keputusan ini sudah sesuai dengan dinamika yang ada,” ujarnya.
Capital Outflow dan Dampaknya
Rupiah juga melemah akibat derasnya arus modal asing yang keluar (capital outflow). Data Bank Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa selama transaksi 13-16 Januari 2025, investor asing mencatatkan jual neto sebesar Rp9,57 triliun. Rinciannya meliputi beli neto Rp0,01 triliun di pasar saham, jual neto Rp4,17 triliun di pasar SBN, dan jual neto Rp5,41 triliun di Sekuritas Rupiah Bank Indonesia (SRBI).
IHSG Menguat, Sektor Konsumer Non-primer Jadi Penopang
Di sisi lain, IHSG ditutup menguat 0,66% ke posisi 7.154,66 pada jumat (17/1/2025). Indeks ini masih bertahan di level psikologis 7.100 hingga akhir pekan lalu.
Sektor konsumer non-primer menjadi penopang terbesar IHSG, dengan kenaikan mencapai 2,17%. Sementara itu, saham PT bank Central Asia Tbk (BBCA) menjadi kontributor utama penguatan IHSG pada hari tersebut.
Ringkasan Performa pasar Keuangan
| Indikator | performa | Keterangan |
|————————|———————————-|——————————————————————————–|
| Rupiah | Melemah 0,03% | Turun ke US$ 16.360 akibat pemangkasan BI Rate dan capital outflow |
| BI-Rate | Turun 25 bps ke 5,75% | Pemangkasan pertama di tahun 2025, sejalan dengan kebijakan pro-stability |
| IHSG | Menguat 0,66% | Ditutup di 7.154,66,didorong sektor konsumer non-primer dan saham BBCA |
| Capital Outflow | Rp9,57 triliun (jual neto) | Terjadi di pasar saham,SBN,dan SRBI |
Kesimpulan
Pasar keuangan Indonesia pekan lalu menunjukkan dinamika yang kompleks. Sementara IHSG merespons positif sentimen pasar, rupiah justru melemah akibat kebijakan moneter dan arus modal keluar. Pemantauan terhadap kebijakan Bank Indonesia dan pergerakan investor asing akan menjadi kunci dalam menentukan arah pasar ke depan.

Wall Street Mengakhiri Pekan Pertama 2025 dengan Kenaikan Signifikan, Didorong Data Ekonomi Positif
Pasar saham Amerika Serikat (AS) mencatat reli signifikan pada perdagangan Jumat (17/1/2025), dengan tiga indeks utama Wall Street mengakhiri pekan pertama tahun ini dengan kenaikan tajam. Kinerja ini didorong oleh data ekonomi yang positif dan optimisme investor terhadap kebijakan moneter yang lebih longgar.
Dow Jones Industrial Average melonjak 334,70 poin atau 0,78%, ditutup pada 43.487,83. Sementara itu, S&P 500 menguat 1% ke level 5.996,66, dan Nasdaq Composite melesat 1,51% menjadi 19.630,20.

Secara mingguan,Dow dan S&P 500 masing-masing naik 3,7% dan 2,9%,mencatatkan kenaikan mingguan terbesar sejak pekan pasca pemilihan presiden AS pada November 2016. Nasdaq juga menanjak 2,5% untuk minggu ini, performa terbaik sejak awal Desember 2024.
Laporan ekonomi yang dirilis pekan lalu menunjukkan tekanan inflasi mulai mereda. Indeks Harga Konsumen inti (Core CPI) naik lebih rendah dari perkiraan secara tahunan,sementara Indeks Harga Produsen (PPI) juga mencatat penurunan. Hal ini memicu harapan bahwa federal Reserve (The Fed) akan mempertahankan kebijakan moneter yang lebih longgar, mendorong sentimen positif di pasar saham.
Pergerakan Saham Teknologi dan Imbal Hasil SBN
Saham teknologi besar menjadi motor penguatan pasar, dengan Tesla, nvidia, dan Alphabet mencatat kenaikan signifikan. Kinerja ini mencerminkan kepercayaan investor terhadap sektor teknologi yang terus menjadi tulang punggung pertumbuhan ekonomi AS.
Di sisi lain, imbal hasil surat Berharga Negara (SBN) tenor 10 tahun sedikit melandai ke 7,15% pada perdagangan akhir pekan lalu, setelah lama bertengger mendekati 7,3%. Imbal hasil yang melandai menandai harga SBN yang tengah naik karena diburu investor.

Respons pasar yang positif terhadap langkah Bank Indonesia (BI) yang memangkas suku bunga, serta inflasi AS yang cenderung membaik, turut mendorong penguatan IHSG.

Pekan pertama tahun 2025 menandai awal yang kuat bagi pasar saham AS, dengan kenaikan signifikan di tiga indeks utama. Data ekonomi yang positif dan optimisme terhadap kebijakan moneter yang lebih longgar menjadi faktor pendorong utama.

The global financial markets are bracing for a week of heightened activity as President Donald Trump prepares for his second inauguration on monday, January 20, 2025. Wall Street has kicked off the year on an optimistic note, buoyed by stronger-than-expected economic data and expectations of pro-market policies under the Trump administration.However, lingering uncertainties over trade and economic policies continue to weigh on investor sentiment.
Economic Data Fuels Market Optimism
Recent economic reports have reignited the “goldilocks” narrative in the stock market, with inflation figures coming in lower than expected in December. This has led to a significant drop in the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond, as investors increasingly anticipate interest rate cuts later this year.
“Better-than-expected economic data has revived the ‘goldilocks’ narrative in the stock market and encouraged investors to take on more risk,” wrote Emmanuel Cau, an analyst at Barclays, in a note on Friday.
The financial sector has been a key driver of the market rally this week, with major banks leading the charge. Goldman Sachs and Citigroup each surged around 12% during the week, while JPMorgan Chase climbed 8%. Strong earnings from these institutions have helped dispel the pessimism that had clouded the market since December 2024.
Trump’s Pro-Market Policies in Focus
Investors are closely watching the upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump, whose pro-deregulation and tax-cutting policies have been a positive force for the stock market as his election victory in November.
However, not all sectors have benefited equally. Microsoft shares rose 2.6% for the week, ending a four-week losing streak, while Apple shares fell 3.2%, marking thier first three-week decline as April 2024.
Qorvo’s Stellar Performance
One of the standout performers this week was qorvo, whose shares soared more than 13% on Friday, marking their best single-day gain as March 2020. The surge followed a report by The Wall Street Journal that activist investor Starboard Value had acquired a 7.7% stake in the company and proposed changes to boost its stock price.
Global Markets on Edge
As Trump’s second term begins, global markets are bracing for potential volatility. Analysts and institutions have warned that “Trump 2.0” could bring chaos to the world stage, notably in areas like trade and economic policy.
Despite the optimism, investors remain cautious, keeping a close eye on inflation trends, monetary policy, and the broader economic impact of Trump’s policies on key sectors.
key Takeaways
| Key Event | Impact |
|———————————–|—————————————————————————-|
| Trump’s Second Inauguration | Pro-market policies boost optimism, but trade uncertainties linger. |
| Lower-than-expected inflation | Fuels hopes for interest rate cuts, driving bond yields lower. |
| Qorvo’s 13% surge | Starboard Value’s stake acquisition and proposed changes lift the stock. |
| Financial sector rally | Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase lead gains. |
As Wall Street navigates this pivotal moment, the interplay between economic data, corporate performance, and political developments will shape the trajectory of global markets in the weeks ahead.

Pasar keuangan global dan Indonesia kembali diguncang sentimen negatif seiring kembalinya Donald Trump sebagai Presiden Amerika Serikat. Sejak pelantikannya pada Januari 2025, kebijakan proteksionisme Trump telah memicu ketidakpastian, mengingatkan pada era pertamanya (2017-2020) yang diwarnai perang dagang dan perlambatan ekonomi global.
IHSG Anjlok, Rupiah Terdepresiasi
indeks Harga Saham Gabungan (IHSG) mengalami tekanan berat sejak awal tahun 2025. Sepanjang 1 hingga 14 Januari, IHSG anjlok 1,74%, diperdagangkan di level 6.956,66. Pola ini mirip dengan situasi saat pelantikan pertama Trump pada 2017, ketika IHSG juga melemah akibat sentimen negatif terhadap kebijakan proteksionisme.
Tak hanya pasar saham, nilai tukar rupiah juga tertekan. data Refinitiv menunjukkan rupiah terdepresiasi 1,05% sejak akhir Desember 2024, lebih dalam dibandingkan pelemahan 0,87% pada periode serupa tahun 2017. Dari masa pilpres AS pada 5 November 2024 hingga akhir perdagangan pekan lalu, rupiah terperosok 3,9%, dari Rp 15.730 per US$1 menjadi Rp 16.350/US$1.
Dolar AS Menguat, Investor Kembali ke Negeri
Rupiah bukan satu-satunya mata uang yang melemah. Kebijakan Trump yang pro-dalam negeri telah menarik investor kembali ke AS, mendorong penguatan indeks dolar dan lonjakan imbal hasil US Treasury. Indeks dolar AS melesat dari 103,423 pada 5 November 2024 menjadi 109,347 pada akhir pekan lalu. Bahkan, pada Senin (13/1/2025), indeks dolar (DX) sempat mencapai 109.956, rekor tertinggi sejak November 2022.
Pelajaran Pahit Era Trump Pertama
Dunia sudah mengalami pelajaran pahit di era Trump pertama, terutama saat perang dagang memanas pada 2018. Volume perdagangan dunia melambat menjadi 3,7% dari pertumbuhan tahun sebelumnya sebesar 4,7%. Penurunan aktivitas ekonomi global berkontribusi pada penurunan harga komoditas. data Bank Dunia menunjukkan pertumbuhan global terjun dari 3,3% pada 2018 menjadi 2,7% pada 2019.
Pasar Saham AS Naik, Volatilitas Tetap Mengintai
Meski pasar saham AS mencatatkan kenaikan mingguan terbaik sejak pemilu November 2024, volatilitas tetap membayangi. Indeks S&P 500 melonjak lebih dari 3%, Nasdaq Composite tumbuh 2,6%, dan Dow Jones Industrial Average memimpin dengan lonjakan hampir 4%. Kenaikan ini didorong oleh meredanya kekhawatiran bahwa Federal Reserve akan menahan pemotongan suku bunga sepanjang 2025. Namun,analis memproyeksikan tahun yang lebih fluktuatif di bawah kepemimpinan Trump.
tabel Ringkasan Perubahan Pasar Keuangan
| Indikator | Perubahan | Periode |
|————————|—————————————-|———————————|
| IHSG | Anjlok 1,74% | 1 Januari – 14 Januari 2025 |
| Nilai Tukar Rupiah | Terdepresiasi 3,9% | 5 November 2024 – 14 Januari 2025 |
| Indeks Dolar AS | Melesat dari 103,423 ke 109,347 | 5 November 2024 – 14 Januari 2025 |
| Pertumbuhan Global | Turun dari 3,3% (2018) ke 2,7% (2019) | 2018 – 2019 |
Apa yang Harus Diwaspadai?
Dengan kembalinya Trump, dunia dan Indonesia perlu bersiap menghadapi ketidakpastian ekonomi yang lebih besar. Kebijakan proteksionisme dan tarif impor yang tinggi berpotensi memicu perang dagang baru, yang dapat berdampak pada perdagangan global dan pertumbuhan ekonomi.
Investor disarankan untuk tetap waspada dan mempertimbangkan diversifikasi portofolio guna mengurangi risiko volatilitas pasar.Sementara itu, pemerintah perlu mengambil langkah strategis untuk melindungi perekonomian domestik dari dampak negatif kebijakan Trump.

The global economic landscape is bracing for potential turbulence as former U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policies resurface, casting a shadow over markets worldwide.Indonesia,a key player in Southeast Asia,finds itself at the crossroads of these developments,grappling with the dual pressures of domestic challenges and external uncertainties.
The Rise of the U.S. Dollar and Its Global Implications
The U.S. dollar has surged to its highest levels since November 2022, driven by Trump’s pro-American and protectionist economic policies. This strengthening has triggered a capital flight back to the U.S., leaving emerging markets like Indonesia vulnerable. The yield on U.S. Treasury bonds has also spiked, climbing from 4.29% in early November 2024 to 4.62% by the end of the week, with a brief peak at 4.8%.
This dollar rally has significant implications for indonesia’s financial markets. A stronger dollar typically exerts downward pressure on emerging market currencies, including the Indonesian rupiah. Analysts warn that if Trump’s policies exacerbate market sentiment,the rupiah and the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) could face prolonged volatility.
Trade Tensions and Indonesia’s GSP Status
Trump’s aggressive stance on trade,particularly with China,has sent ripples across Asia. Indonesia, wich enjoyed a $9.5 billion trade surplus with the U.S. in 2023,is particularly vulnerable. The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), which allows duty-free access for certain Indonesian exports to the U.S., has been a cornerstone of this trade relationship. However, in 2018, Indonesia faced the threat of losing its GSP status, a scenario that could resurface under trump’s renewed focus on trade imbalances.
Indonesia is one of the largest contributors to the U.S. trade deficit, making it a potential target for Trump’s tariff policies. Data reveals that Indonesia ranks among the top countries contributing to the U.S.trade deficit, as highlighted in the chart below:
Indonesia’s BRICS Membership: A Double-Edged Sword
Adding to the complexity is Indonesia’s recent inclusion in the BRICS alliance, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on BRICS nations if they proceed with plans to create a new currency to rival the U.S. dollar. This move could further strain Indonesia’s financial markets, already under pressure from global uncertainties.
Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo has identified three primary risks: heightened market volatility, capital outflows, and inflationary pressures. These challenges underscore the delicate balancing act Indonesia must perform to safeguard its economic stability.
Key Takeaways and Future Outlook
The interplay between Trump’s trade policies and Indonesia’s economic strategies will shape the nation’s financial trajectory in the coming months. While the GSP has been a lifeline for Indonesia’s export sector,the threat of its revocation looms large. Similarly, Indonesia’s BRICS membership offers strategic opportunities but also exposes it to geopolitical risks.
| Key Factors | Impact on Indonesia |
|——————————-|—————————————————————————————-|
| Strengthening U.S. Dollar | Pressure on the rupiah and capital outflows |
| GSP Status Uncertainty | Potential loss of duty-free access to U.S. markets |
| BRICS Membership | Geopolitical risks and potential tariffs from the U.S. |
| U.S. Treasury Yield Spike | Increased borrowing costs and market volatility |
As the global economy navigates these uncertain waters, Indonesia must remain vigilant. The nation’s ability to adapt to shifting trade dynamics and geopolitical tensions will determine its resilience in the face of external shocks.

Global Markets Brace for Volatility Amid Key Economic Updates
As the world steps into 2025, financial markets are navigating a complex landscape shaped by currency fluctuations, potential capital outflows, and lingering market uncertainties. However, optimism remains, driven by positive corporate earnings reports and a strengthening domestic economy, which could provide much-needed support for Indonesia’s market.
Corporate Earnings and US Economic Data in Focus
This week, market participants will closely monitor the financial reports of 43 S&P 500 companies, including industry giants like Netflix, United Airlines, Johnson & Johnson, and 3M Company. These earnings releases are expected to offer critical insights into corporate health and investor sentiment. Additionally, key US economic indicators, such as service and manufacturing sector activity data, along with consumer sentiment updates, will play a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of Trump’s economic policies.The interplay of political and economic dynamics in the US is set to be a defining factor for global markets. With volatility projected to persist, investors are advised to remain vigilant and consider diversifying their portfolios to mitigate risks in an uncertain environment.
China’s Central Bank Holds Steady on Interest Rates
On Monday, January 20, 2025, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) announced its latest benchmark interest rate decision. According to Trading Economics, the PBoC is expected to maintain its current rates, with the 1-year Loan Prime Rate (LPR) holding steady at 3.1% and the 5-year LPR remaining at 3.6%. This decision aligns with market consensus, reflecting the central bank’s cautious approach amid economic challenges.
Despite the rate hold, the PBoC recently injected a significant amount of short-term liquidity into the financial system. Last Wednesday,the bank conducted a seven-day reverse repurchase agreement (reverse repo) worth 958.4 billion yuan (approximately Rp 2,131.4 trillion). This move,the second-largest on record as 2004,aims to offset the impact of maturing medium-term loans,peak tax payment season,and increased cash demand ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays.
The substantial liquidity injection is expected to provide relief to Chinese banks, which have been grappling with cash shortages earlier this week. By ensuring adequate liquidity, the PBoC seeks to stabilize the banking system and support economic activity during a critical period.
US Economic Sentiment Takes a Backseat
While the US remains a focal point for global markets, this week’s economic sentiment is overshadowed by the anticipation of Trump’s inauguration on Monday. With fewer major economic updates expected, investors are likely to shift their attention to political developments and their potential implications for future policy directions.

As global markets brace for the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision on January 29, 2025, two key economic indicators are drawing significant attention: weekly unemployment claims and U.S. home sales data for December 2024. These figures are critical for investors and policymakers alike, offering insights into the health of the U.S. economy and potential shifts in monetary policy.
According to Trading Economics, the consensus forecast for weekly unemployment claims, set to be released for the week ending January 18, 2025, predicts a slight increase to 219,000, up from the previous week’s 217,000. While this uptick is modest, it underscores the delicate balance in the labor market. Analysts are closely monitoring this data, as it could influence the Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rates.
The Federal Reserve has signaled a cautious approach,with 97.9% of market participants—based on the CME FedWatch Tool—expecting the central bank to hold rates steady. This near-unanimous expectation reflects the Fed’s recent indications that it is in no rush to cut rates, despite mounting pressure from various sectors of the economy.
Why Unemployment Claims matter
Unemployment claims are a vital barometer of labor market health. A sustained rise in claims could signal weakening job conditions, perhaps prompting the Fed to reconsider its monetary policy trajectory. Conversely, stable or declining claims would reinforce the central bank’s current stance.
“Data tenaga kerja termasuk klaim pengangguran akan dicermati oleh pelaku pasar global, mengingat langkah the fed yang kembali berubah dan mereka mengindikasikan tidak akan terburu-buru untuk memangkas suku bunga acuannya,” notes the report.
Housing Market under the microscope
In addition to labor market data, December 2024’s U.S.home sales figures are also in the spotlight. The housing market has been a key driver of economic activity, and any significant changes in sales trends could have ripple effects across the broader economy.
Today’s Key Events and Data Releases
Beyond these critical indicators, several other events and data releases are scheduled for today, including:
- RUPS SMGR
- RUPS SRAJ
- RUPS LPGI
- Public Expose LPGI
- Laporan Survei Perbankan Triwulan IV 2024
- China’s 5-Year Loan Prime Rate (8:15 AM)
- China’s 1-Year Loan Prime Rate (8:15 AM)
These events, particularly China’s loan prime rate announcements, could influence global market sentiment, given China’s significant role in the global economy.

| Federal Reserve Decision | Market expects rates to remain steady,with a 97.9% probability. |
Implications for Global Markets
The Federal Reserve’s decision will have far-reaching implications for global markets, particularly for emerging economies like Indonesia. A steady interest rate environment in the U.S. could help stabilize global financial markets,but it also means that borrowing costs may remain elevated,posing challenges for countries with high levels of external debt.
For Indonesia, the interplay between U.S. monetary policy and domestic economic conditions will be crucial. The nation’s ability to navigate these external pressures while maintaining economic stability will be a key determinant of its resilience in the face of global uncertainties.
As the global economy continues to navigate these uncertain waters, investors are advised to remain vigilant and consider diversifying their portfolios to mitigate risks. Staying informed about key economic indicators and understanding their implications will be essential for making informed investment decisions.
