Entering today’s trading, Friday (2/10/2026), domestic market participants will still face various sentiments from both local and international sources.

Domestically, the cabinet reshuffle, the implementation of short selling, and market responses to manufacturing data, trade balances, and inflation will be key points of attention.

Externally, developments in the war and oil prices, as well as the release of US employment data, Eurozone inflation, and Japan’s unemployment rate, continue to shadow market movements.

US sentiment is expected to heavily influence the market today, ranging from surges in US Treasuries, unemployment claims, and ISM Manufacturing data, to unemployment rates and non-farm payrolls.
