The Pause
JCI took a pause as the market is waiting for the next step Prabowo-Hatta will do regarding their rights to bring up the election dispute to the Constitutional Court this Friday. While it is seen as unlikely to be able to change the already announced result, investors seem to prefer to stay cautious over the issue.
Beyond the election, the next composition of ministers will sap the market’s attention aside from corporate financial reports for the first half 2014 which are being reported at the moment.

Day Ahead
Prabowo-Hatta still have Friday to bring the issue to the Constitutional Court regarding the election result. While this may hurt sentiment a bit, the majority of the market seems to expect that such effort will be futile and that KPU’s decision will remain legitimate. Also, names to fill in the Jokowi-JK’s cabinet are abound, and this could be the next attraction point for investors aside from corporate 1H14 results which are being announced at the moment.
