Across the ASEAN: Can Indonesia Sustain Strong Gains This Year?
The Jakarta Composite Index has been on a roll, rising by as much as 10% since the start of the year, and buoyed by the commodities boom that's seen Indonesian exports surge, and miners in the resource-rich nation thrive. But might China's COVID-19 lockdowns thwart the commodities boom and end the good times for Indonesia's stocks? How are rising costs impacting the average Indonesian? And will the recent export ban on palm oil curb higher cooking oil prices? John Rachmat, Chief Strategist for PT Pinnacle Investments, joined us on Across the ASEAN to discuss Indonesia's strong gains, and how one of their funds was able to outperform the Jakarta benchmark.
