Industrial output in Jordan rose by 1.1% year-on-year in March 2026, rebounding from a 0.72% decline in the previous month. Output recovered in manufacturing (0.6% vs -0.27% in February), mainly driven by higher production of food products (6.3%), chemicals and chemical products (9.8%), and fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment (14.2%). Moreover, production in electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply rebounded sharply to 10.4% in March from a 9.84% drop in the preceding month. Meanwhile, output for mining and quarrying slipped to 1.4% from a 2.31% rise. On a monthly basis, industrial activity increased 2.5%, following a 2.19% fall in February.

Jordan Industrial Output Rebounds in March

Indonesia’s IDX Composite climbed 54 points or 0.9% to 6,429 in Wednesday morning trade, snapping a six-session slide as bargain hunters stepped in after the benchmark hit a 13-month low the day before. Meanwhile, President Prabowo is set to present the 2027 budget framework to parliament later today, while the finance ministry reportedly plans daily IDR 2 trillion injections into the bond market to stabilize the rupiah, curb outflows, and ease volatility. Bank Indonesia, under pressure as the currency hovers near repeated historic lows, signaled a tilt toward pro-stability policy ahead of its meeting conclusion today. Gains were tempered by inflation risks from higher oil prices, despite April inflation staying mild. Meanwhile, U.S. stock futures weakened as Treasury yields climbed while tensions between Washington and Tehran lingered. Standout movers included Japfa Comfeed (4.4%), Timah (3.4%), Telkom Indonesia (3.2%), and Dian Swastatika Sentosa (2.7%).

Indonesia Shares Recover from 13-Month Low

China’s 10-year government bond yield fell to 1.74% on Wednesday, extending declines from the previous session and hitting a one-month low, as the People’s Bank of China maintained an accommodative monetary policy stance amid weakening economic momentum. The PBoC kept the one-year loan prime rate (LPR) unchanged at 3% and the five-year LPR at 3.5%, maintaining both at historically low levels for a twelfth consecutive month in May. The decision came despite mounting signs of slowing domestic activity, with industrial output growth easing to its weakest pace since July 2023 and retail sales expanding at its slowest rate since December 2022. The softer economic data reinforced expectations for additional stimulus, with investors now closely watching the Communist Party’s Politburo meeting in July. Meanwhile, both consumer and producer inflation accelerated, driven largely by higher energy prices and ongoing supply-chain disruptions tied to the conflict.

China 10-Year Government Bond Yield at 1.74percent

Japan’s 10-year government bond yield held around 2.79% on Wednesday, hovering at its highest level since September 1996 as strong economic growth data and mounting concerns over an energy-driven inflation shock reinforced expectations for a near-term interest rate hike from the Bank of Japan. Recent figures showed Japan’s economy expanded 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter, beating market expectations of 0.4% and marking the fastest pace of growth since the third quarter of 2024. Adding to hawkish sentiment, the prolonged Middle East conflict has effectively kept the strategic Strait of Hormuz closed to shipping traffic, driving oil prices higher and intensifying global inflationary pressures. Markets are speculating that the BOJ could raise rates as soon as next month following hawkish signals from policymakers. Investors are also awaiting Japan’s latest trade and inflation reports later for further clues on the strength of the economy.
