Indonesia's sovereign wealth fund hires banks for potential global dollar bond issuance
Golden Ten Data reported on June 3 that, according to foreign media, Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund Danantara has hired banks for a potential global US dollar bond issuance, testing investor interest as the country faces economic headwinds. According to people familiar with the matter, Danantara has appointed Citigroup, DBS Bank, HSBC, Mandiri Securities, and Standard Chartered as joint lead managers and joint bookrunners, and will arrange a series of fixed income investor meetings and conference calls in Asia, Europe, and the United States starting Wednesday. This mandate does not mean a deal will definitely take place. The potential issuance comes at a time when investors are increasingly concerned about some of President Prabowo’s initiatives; earlier this year, both Moody’s and Fitch Ratings revised the country’s credit outlook to negative. Prabowo established Danantara last year to improve the efficiency of Indonesia’s powerful state-owned enterprises, reinvest dividends, and attract foreign capital into high-impact projects in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.

BUZZ - Tobacco and alcohol stocks lead gains in the consumer staples sector
On October 8, Thursday, Philip Morris International (PM.N) became the top gainer in the S&P 500 Consumer Staples sector (.SPLRCS), followed by alcoholic beverage company Constellation Brands (STZ.N) and Altria Group (MO.N), both ranking among the day's biggest gainers. Shares of Philip Morris International (PM), a supplier of cigarettes and smoke-free nicotine products, rose about 4% to $200.89, set for a fourth consecutive session of gains and marking the largest single-day increase since July 16. Marlboro cigarette maker Altria gained 2.9% to $71.36. Earlier, British peer Imperial Brands (IMB.L) said it expects to meet its full-year guidance and announced a £1.5 billions ($1.98 billions) share buyback plan, as robust growth in tobacco alternatives helped offset declining cigarette sales. STZ, which produces beer, wine, and spirits, rose over 3% to $122.35 on the second trading day after releasing its quarterly report, despite several brokerages lowering their price targets. JPMorgan, however, raised its target from $133 to $136. Cetera Chief Investment Officer Gene Goldman noted on Thursday that there is “a rotation from growth stocks to defensive stocks” in the market, adding that “rising yields and wider credit spreads are putting pressure on AI and growth stocks.” He also pointed out that valuations in the sector are improving. Over the past three months, the sector has underperformed the broader S&P 500, falling 1% versus the benchmark’s 3.9% rise. Among the five S&P sectors that did not decline on Thursday, the Consumer Staples Index posted the second-largest gain, up 1.6%.
