Eyes on Payrolls
The rally continued on Thursday, sending the JCI to as high as 4,688. The index has managed to break through its resistance, opening another door towards 4,791.
US jobless claims fell to 323k in the recent week, lower than the expected 336k and also falling behind the prior week’s reading of 349k. Elsewhere, US factory orders fell 0.7% in January, following a 2% decline in December. The fall was worse than 0.5% decline forecast by analysts.
US nonfarm payrolls is expected to increase to 150k in February, better than the January’s increase of 113k. The key US data is due on Friday and is one of the key indicators monitored by the Federal Reserve. Another element of job report is the unemployment rate which is expected to stay at 6.6%.
MERK and TLKM
MERK saw a 62.74% increase in net profit in 2013 to IDR175,445 million as its revenues jumped 28.4% to IDR1,193,952 million. Both assets and liabilities were up by 22.39% and 20.98%, respectively.

Technically Speaking...
JCI broke through its resistance at 4,665 and went all the way to 4,688. The index is now eyeing at the next big thing at 4,791.
Recent peak-turned-support at 4,665 will be the nearest key support line for JCI, whereas another support will be at 4,510 as this was also the prior resistance-turned-support.
Next resistance is seen at around 4,791.
MACD has returned to above the zero line now, while RSI has curled back up heading towards the overbought area. Meanwhile, volume ticked up. Sharp rally risks pullbacks but the upside potential remains intact.
Day Ahead
As Ukraine stays cool and US jobless claims managed to beat the consensus, the investors’ mood stays upbeat. This signals for more gains to come in the Friday’s session. Still, the recent rally points at potential short-term correction is still a risk for JCI.
