Market Commentary:
U.S. equities delivered a mixed performance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.46%, while the S&P 500 finished broadly flat. Investor sentiment was tempered by a sharp sell-off in semiconductor stocks, reflecting growing concerns over the sustainability of elevated AI-related capital expenditure and the pace of long-term monetization.

In Europe, benchmark indices closed higher as the retreat in oil prices alleviated inflationary pressures and improved the outlook for energy-intensive sectors. In contrast, Japan's Nikkei 225 dropped more than 2%, weighed down by heavy losses in technology stocks amid increasing skepticism over AI spending and earnings prospects.

A de-escalation in Middle East tensions improved overall market sentiment after renewed diplomatic initiatives reduced immediate geopolitical risks, triggering a sharp decline in crude oil prices. Oil fell nearly 4%, slipping back below USD100/bbl, easing concerns over global inflation and providing support to risk assets. However, spot gold remained firm as investors continued to maintain defensive positions ahead of the upcoming Federal Reserve policy meeting and in response to lingering geopolitical uncertainties.

On the domestic front, the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) declined 118.88 points (-1.88%) to close at 6,196.43. Going forward, investors are expected to remain focused on the ongoing earnings season, while closely monitoring upcoming global Manufacturing PMI releases and the latest inflation data, which are likely to provide further direction for financial markets.
