Unsatisfactory news had come domestically, where the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) reported that there was 1 additional case from a local transmission case, bringing the total positive for Covid-19 Omicron to 47 cases.
The case of local transmission was experienced by a 37-year-old man and there was no history of overseas travel for several months or close contact with the patient.
Although there was reported to be one case of local transmission, the JCI still strengthened at the close of today.
JCI also tends to follow the movement of Asian stock exchanges, which are also observed to be bright and enthusiastic today, and the United States (US) stock market, Wall Street, which was enthusiastic in trading last Monday local time.
The three main indexes on Wall Street rose up to 1%. The Nasdaq Composite Index led gains with an appreciation of 1.39%.
Wall Street is still climbing even though Covid-19 cases in Uncle Sam’s country continue to climb. In the US, so far there have been more than 52 million new cases of Covid-19 infection, following the confirmed spread of Omicron that did not cause severe symptoms. White House infectious disease expert, dr. Anthony Fauci estimates the increase will still occur after last week touched the 150,000 mark.
However, it is believed that the increase in cases will not cause an economic slowdown, but will speed up the end of the pandemic.
“We do not believe that Omicron will significantly affect the outlook for economic growth, in fact it is likely to accelerate the end of the pandemic,” said JPMorgan analyst Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, as quoted by Reuters. CNBC International.
