IDX vs. ETF Alternatives
IDX Description
The Indonesia Index ETF seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors Indonesia Index. The Index provides exposure to publicly traded companies that are domiciled and primarily listed in Indonesia, or that generate at least 50% of their revenues in Indonesia. As such, the Fund is subject to the risks of investing in this country.

- Monday, May 20, 10:44 AM Indonesian stocks (IDX +1.3%) get a lift Monday, rising 1.4% in Jakarta after the country names Investment Coordinating Board chairman Chatib Basri (who has strong ties to the private sector) as new finance minister. Elsewhere in the region, Thai equities (THD +1.4%) once again get a boost from rate cut speculation as the SET jumps 0.95%. The Bank of Thailand may use a lower-than-expected read on Q1 GDP (5.3% expansion versus a consensus of 6%) to justify cutting the policy rate at its May 29 meeting (Nomura has the odds at 60%). Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, May 17, 9:26 AM Thai stocks (THD) rise 0.62%, helped by 7% gains for Shin Corp. (SHNZY.PK) and Minor International (MNILF.OB) which will both be added to the MSCI Emerging Markets (EEM) index. Elsewhere in the region, stocks in Indonesia (IDX) rise 1.32%, continuing to defy analysts' predictions (I, II) of a steep sell-off, and post-midterm election profit-taking continues in the Philippines (EPHE), where stocks fall 0.42%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, May 6, 6:40 AM Brace for a 10% correction in Indonesian equities (IDX), some analysts say, as concerns mount that the country's economy (which has seen nine consecutive quarters of 6%+ economic growth) is overheating. With inflation running at a near two-year high and a fuel subsidy cut set to push prices even higher, expect monetary policy to tighten going forward. "The belief is that interest rates have bottomed," one money manager tells Bloomberg. (previous) Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, May 6, 6:11 AM It's a banner day in Malaysian equity (EWM) and currency markets following the re-election of the ruling National Front coalition and Prime Minister Najib Razack's dominant UMNO party. The ringgit soars the most in three years and some individual stock names post double-digit gains on the session. The country's second largest bank, CIMB Group, has its best day in more than a decade. Across the region, Vietnamese equities (VNM) climb nearly 3% and Indonesian shares (IDX) rise 1.35% in Jakarta despite persistent inflation worries. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 30, 11:38 AM Underscoring the bubble worries of Credit Suisse, HSBC, and the IMF (among others), Indonesian (IDX +0.1%) and Malaysian (EWM -0.4%) stocks hit record highs thanks to "strong quarterly earnings and expectations that the Fed and ECB" will not veer from the stimulus course. "Indonesia is the furthest ahead in the economic cycle," Credit Suisse warns, "lending growth is double the pace" of nominal GDP growth. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, April 3, 2:14 PM Today also saw Global X's launch of the first ever ETF covering Central Asia republics and Mongolia (AZIA). The fund's portfolio will be spread between Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan and will charge 0.69%. This compares as follows to other Asian country ETFs: VNM - 0.76%, THD - 0.62%, IDX - 0.57%, EWM - 0.52%, EPHE - 0.59%. Comment!
- Wednesday, March 7, 2012, 2:02 AM Economists expect little action from a slew of Asia-Pacific rate decisions this week. Given the rise in oil prices and the easing of eurozone meltdown concerns, central banks in South Korea, New Zealand, Indonesia and Malaysia are expected to hold rates steady. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, January 13, 2012, 7:00 AM Chevron (CVX) will make a major investment decision on an offshore gas field in Indonesia shortly, according to regulators. The nation - Southeast Asia's largest crude producer - looks to reverse a steady decline in output that led to its withdrawal from OPEC. Comment! [Energy, Global & FX]
- Thursday, November 17, 2011, 9:59 AM Inflation worries have quickly been replaced in Asia, where recently hawkish central banks - Indonesia and South Korea to name two - are either sitting on their hands or beginning to slash rates as 2012 starts to look bleak. Of course, China is the gorilla, and, as of yet, hasn't begun to lift its clampdown on credit. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 7:24 AM Japanese companies may start investing to build factories in Indonesia and Vietnam after the flooding disaster in Thailand dramatically exposes a need to diversify manufacturing operations. Economist Tohru Nishihama sees the economic opportunity for Thailand's neighbors: "Indonesia has a large population and its domestic demand is quite strong, while Vietnam’s population is increasing." Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, October 11, 2011, 7:14 AM In a surprise move, Indonesia cuts its benchmark rate 25 basis points to 6.5%, commenting that inflation is on track to fall below its 5% target. Indonesia ETF: IDX -18% for the last quarter. (PR) Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, September 16, 2011, 7:35 AM The Reserve Bank of India raises its benchmark rate 25 basis points to 8.25%, the 12th hike in a cycle that began in March 2010. The move contrasts with recent surprise cuts by Brazil, Turkey, and Russia. "A premature change in the policy stance could harden inflationary expectations, thereby diluting the impact of past policy actions," says the RBI. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, August 1, 2011, 10:49 AM India cuts its official growth estimate for 2011 to 8.2%, still higher than private economists are predicting. More data to chew on: the July PMI prints at 53.6 from 55.3 previously, the 3rd consecutive decline. With inflation continuing above 9%, its unlikely monetary policy will soon stray from its tightening path. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 26, 2011, 3:45 PM Indonesia's rapid growth and abundance of commodities has made it a favorite with investors, but the country's infrastructure is woefully inadequate. Improvements are on the way, but they take time. "We don't make decisions like China ... (we're) a democracy," says an official. IDX, EIDO +43% Y/Y. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 18, 2011, 8:20 AM Underperformers in 2011, emerging markets, particularly India and China, could benefit from the sell-off in commodities as easing inflation pressure allows central banks to take their foot off the brake. With stock valuations low on a relative basis, look for liquidity to shift from commodities to these markets. Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, May 5, 2011, 11:03 AM The 2nd best performing equity market in Asia this year, Indonesian stocks are beginning to steal some attention from struggling Indian shares. It's easy to forget, though, that Indonesia's market is but a fraction of India's, far less developed, and more subject to whims of speculative capital. IDX +0.4%. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
