Stock Market Indonesia Update: Up but Downward Pressures Remain
As several Asian stock indices rebounded on Wednesday (07/01) Indonesia’s benchmark Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) was able to rise as well. Investors purchased Indonesian blue chips which were considered relatively cheap after two days of decline. However, this may be speculative (short-term) buying as there are still no real domestic or foreign factors that can provide structural support. As such, there is a real possibility that Indonesia’s benchmark index will be back into red territory tomorrow.
Over 8.3 billion Indonesian shares - valued at a combined IDR 5.7 trillion (USD $449 million) - were traded on Wednesday on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Meanwhile, foreign selling eased with foreign investors selling only IDR 3 billion more shares than they bought (compared to foreign net selling of IDR 440 billion on the previous trading day).
The Jakarta Composite Index rose 0.74 percent to 5,207.12 points on Wednesday.
