Phillip Futures Introduces Direct Market Access to MINIBRENT via NOVA in Collaboration with JFX and KBI

JAKARTA, October 31, 2026 - Phillip Futures, in strategic collaboration with the Jakarta Futures Exchange (JFX) and Kliring Berjangka Indonesia (KBI), has officially introduced Brent Crude Oil-a premier global crude oil futures instrument-to the Indonesian market. Sourced from the North Sea, Brent Crude serves as one of the world's most widely adopted oil price benchmarks, routinely cited by international media as the primary barometer for global oil prices.

Indonesian investors can now trade MINIBRENT Crude Oil via NOVA, the proprietary trading platform developed by Phillip Futures, which was recently named Best Futures Broker of 2025 by the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency under the Ministry of Trade (BAPPEBTI) on October 8, 2026. This tripartite synergy marks a significant milestone in democratizing access for Indonesian retail and institutional participants to global energy commodities within an official, transparent, and strictly regulated futures trading ecosystem.

Fully licensed and regulated by BAPPEBTI, Phillip Futures brings over 15 years of domestic market expertise in Indonesia, underpinned by the multinational stature of the PhillipCapital network, which boasts a legacy of over 50 years in the global financial services industry.

Trading Through a Licensed and Seasoned Futures Broker

Amid the shifting tides of the global energy landscape, selecting a brokerage with unimpeachable regulatory standing and deep industry tenure is paramount for market participants seeking exposure to futures trading. Phillip Futures remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering market access backed by professional, transparent, and fully compliant brokerage services.

"Phillip Futures is committed to broadening access for the Indonesian public to a diverse array of investment alternatives and risk-management instruments across global markets. The integration of MINIBRENT onto the NOVA platform empowers traders to gain direct exposure to Brent Crude Oil, one of the foremost benchmarks for global oil pricing. This initiative expands our clients' repertoire to capitalize on trading opportunities within the international energy sector while simultaneously supporting their hedging requirements," stated Fanti Apriliana, President Director of Phillip Futures.

"As a commodity of strategic significance to the global economy, Brent Crude Oil presents compelling trading opportunities driven by supply-and-demand fundamentals, production mandates, and geopolitical developments. We strongly emphasize the importance of grasping product specifications, conducting rigorous market analysis, and exercising disciplined risk management so that clients can formulate strategies tailored to their distinct investment objectives and risk tolerances," she added.

To further bolster market literacy, the NOVA application features NOVA.I, an AI-powered analytical and discussion tool designed to help clients explore market intelligence and the macroeconomic catalysts driving Brent Crude Oil price action, thereby facilitating more informed decision-making.

Democratizing Global Oil Trading Alongside JFX

As a cornerstone benchmark for international crude oil, Brent price trajectories are heavily influenced by a confluence of macroeconomic variables, including OPEC+ production quotas, geopolitical shifts, and global energy supply-demand equilibrium.

Through the MINIBRENT Crude Oil contract facilitated by JFX, Indonesian market participants gain an accessible avenue to navigate international energy price movements. Structured at a contract size of 100 barrels per lot-a fraction of the standard 1,000-barrel Brent contract-MINIBRENT offers enhanced capital efficiency and flexibility.

Advancing Indonesia's Futures Trading Industry

Underscoring a shared commitment to industry advancement, the collaboration between Phillip Futures, JFX, and KBI also featured James, Head of Learning and Development at ONYX Capital Group, London, who shared institutional insights into Brent Crude Oil trading. Beyond dissecting the macro dynamics of the global energy market, James outlined actionable trading frameworks and strategies-ranging from reading market structure and identifying high-probability setups to enforcing robust risk management protocols amid oil price volatility.

"Trading is about small profits, small losses, and large profits. It's about eradicating the large losses. Successful trading is not about predicting every market movement. It is about following a consistent process and controlling losses," explained James during his session.

(Note: In English press releases, the Indonesian translation paragraph of James's quote is omitted as redundant, since his original remarks were delivered in English.)

James further delineated the four foundational pillars of constructing a resilient risk management framework:

• Entry Point: Establishing precise criteria for initiating a market position.

• Exit Strategy: Pre-defining target levels for profit realization or trade invalidation.

• Stop-Loss Level: Setting strict maximum loss thresholds to protect capital.

• Position Size: Calibrating lot exposure relative to overall portfolio equity and volatility.

By bringing international market practitioners to the forefront, Phillip Futures, JFX, and KBI aim to cultivate a broader global market perspective while equipping Indonesian traders with the analytical acumen required prior to executing trades. Complementing this flagship initiative, Phillip Futures consistently champions financial literacy through regular regional seminars across Indonesia as well as interactive webinars.
