Market Commentary:
A sell-off in technology and semiconductor stocks, paired with escalating Middle East tensions, pressured major indices worldwide. Dow Jones declined -406.55 pts (-0.77%), while S&P 500 closed -76.08 pts (-1.01%) and Nasdaq fell by more than 1.00%.

European indices tracked Wall Street’s tech slump lower, compounded by rising anxieties over Middle East stability. The Stoxx 600 and DAX both dropped 0.34%, while France’s CAC 40 slid 0.47%. Bucking the trend, FTSE 100 managed a modest 0.27% gain to finish at 10,600.37, insulated by its lack of heavy exposure to mega-cap tech giants. The bleeding was most severe in the Asia-Pacific region, where a rout in semiconductor shares sent shockwaves through the markets.

On the commodity market front, Crude prices ticked upward following alarming headlines out of Kuwait, which reported an Iranian attack on a power plant and water desalination facility. Despite the geopolitical friction, the precious metal is on track for its worst weekly drop in six weeks, as fears that a wider war will fuel inflation warp traditional safe-haven behavior. The greenback found standard safe-haven support to keep it steady on the day, though it remains locked in for a net loss on the week.

From domestic market, Indonesia’s Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) emerged as a bright spot. The index jumped 1.10% (+67.33 points) to close at 6,175.54. Local investors are now shifting their focus to upcoming domestic indicators, keeping a close eye on loan growth data, money supply figures, and the central bank's next interest rate decision.
