The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) fell 145.14 points, or 2.14%, to close at 6,641.814 on Tuesday, March 14, 2023.
Today's contraction in the stock index followed the weakening of Asian and global stock markets. This was partly due to the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank.
"The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) remains a market concern, prompting investors to exercise caution amid fears of systemic financial risks," said the research team at Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas, as quoted by Antara on Tuesday (14/03/2023).
Previously, US President Joe Biden said his government acted swiftly to ensure that SVB depositors could access their funds.
On the other hand, according to the research team at Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas, market speculation about the collapse of SVB suggests that the Fed will slow down interest rate hikes to reduce the potential for a wider financial and economic crisis. In addition, the market is also awaiting the US inflation data report, which will certainly be a consideration for the Fed regarding its benchmark interest rate.
