JCI Eases 0.2% Amid Mixed Regional Market Sentiment
Jakarta. Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) closed lower on Thursday evening, slipping 16.57 points, or 0.2 percent, to 8,372.
Turnover stood at Rp 24.35 trillion ($1.45 million), with 58.38 billion shares traded across 2.72 million transactions. A total of 327 stocks advanced, 365 declined, and 264 were unchanged.
Global sentiment was broadly positive as a resolution to the US government shutdown lifted most Asian markets. World shares gained after US President Donald Trump signed a funding bill, ending the record 43-day shutdown.
“The shutdown had blocked not just spending, but also delayed a raft of federal economic data,” said Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management. “For markets, the only line that matters is simple: the lights are coming back on.”
Asian equities mostly tracked higher. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.4 percent to 51,281.83, though SoftBank Group slid another 3.4 percent after confirming it had fully exited its Nvidia stake. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng climbed 0.6 percent, while the Shanghai Composite added 0.7 percent. South Korea’s Kospi ended 0.5 percent higher, but Australia’s ASX 200 slipped 0.5 percent following strong jobs data that dimmed hopes of near-term rate cuts.
From Wall Street, the Dow Jones notched a second record high at 48,254.82, rising 0.7 percent. The S&P 500 added 0.1 percent, while the Nasdaq eased 0.3 percent as volatility persisted among AI-linked stocks.
On the local bourse, Saraswanti Indo Development (SWID) led today’s gainers with a 34.78 percent jump. Jobubu Jarum Minahasa (BEER) rose 33.82 percent, while Cahayasakti Investindo Sukses (CSIS) and Mora Telematika Indonesia (MORA) each gained 25 percent.
Among the biggest decliners, Teknologi Karya Digital Nusa (TRON) dropped 12.38 percent. Kobexindo Tractors (KOBX) slid 12.14 percent, while Agro Bahari Nusantara (UDNG) and Capitalinc Investment (MTFN) both fell 10 percent.
