Indonesian shares rose 68 points, or 1.2%, to 5,953 in early Thursday trading, breaking a three-day losing streak as bargain hunters stepped in after the market touched a two-week low. Sentiment improved after MSCI decided to keep Indonesia in its emerging markets index despite ongoing transparency concerns.
Bank Indonesia also reported stronger foreign inflows into its one-year securities (SRBI) and government bonds, with total funds reaching around IDR 105 trillion so far in June. U.S. futures inched higher as oil prices retreated to pre-war levels, lending additional support.
However, gains were limited by caution ahead of key domestic data releases next week, including June CPI and May trade figures. Investor sentiment was further tempered by worries over Indonesia’s 21-place drop in the latest World Competitiveness Ranking.
Despite these concerns, all sectors advanced, led by transport, healthcare, energy, and infrastructure. Notable gainers included Barito Pacific (up 6.6%), Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper (4.9%), Astra International (3.0%), and Sumber Alfaria Trijaya (2.5%).
