Bond Market Commentary : July 2025

In July, Indonesian bond market continued its bullish trend that has been started in April. INDOGB 10-year yield declined from June closing at 6.63% to 6.57% (end of July). The bullish trend in the bond market were backed by lower BI Rate on 15 July, slowing inflation rate, de-escalation of geopolitical tension in Mid-East, improving Indonesia risk perception and jumbo liquidity in IDR bond market. The downside risk was from the development of the U.S. import tariffs. That said, Indonesia has been looking at increasing stabilisation with US tariff deal, which puts the country at 19% compared to the previous 32%. The US seems to also be pushing for a weaker USD and stronger IDR, which caused domestic currency trajectory to be strengthening to flattish or in other words, limited further currencies downside risks. Globally, we are also seeing many countries beginning to finish up their deals with the US, and Trump seems to be softening also to China, narrowing the risk of another all-out trade war. The improvement in risk perception can be seen in narrowing CDS spread in July.

Market liquidity has also been good in July as there were more than IDR150 tn matured government bond in June. There is also an expectation of higher liquidity in August-October, as there are scheduled maturing govies with total value more than IDR70tn/month.

The improving of Indonesia risk perception can be seen from narrowing Indonesian risk premium from 240 bps to 219 bps and lowering CDS 5-year from 77.98 bps to 72.45 bps. This is due to lower the U.S. rating by Moody’s to AA+ from top notch, and better Indonesia macroeconomic condition, healthy fiscal budget as well as strong Bank Indonesia’s international reserves. As a result, foreign investors were net buy in July of IDR13.28 tn in Government bonds hence totalling net buy of IDR55.32 tn in YTD 2025.
