Jakarta. Jakarta Composite Index closed at 8,657 on Tuesday, declining 53.51 points or 0.61 percent after touching a fresh all-time high earlier in the day.

Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas said the session was dominated by profit-taking, although sentiment received a lift from Bank Indonesia’s Consumer Confidence Index for November, which remained in optimistic territory at 124.0, up from 121.2 in October. “This indicates consumers are more confident about economic conditions compared to the previous month,” Pilarmas said.

The brokerage added that while markets expect the US Federal Reserve to cut rates this week, investors are waiting for the latest economic projections and comments from Chair Jerome Powell “to obtain clues about the central bank’s plans for 2026 and beyond.” Markets are also watching China’s November inflation and producer price data.

Pilarmas noted that China’s Politburo has pledged stronger measures to bolster domestic demand in 2026, including more proactive fiscal policies and looser monetary support.
