2026-03-27 03:15 By Farida Husna 1 min. read

Indonesia’s IDX Composite fell 71 points, or 1%, to 7,091 in early Friday trade, extending weakness in the prior session after an overnight Wall Street slump as U.S.

President Trump escalated pressure on Iran, warning of continued military action and even control of its oil.

Local markets are on track for a fifth straight weekly decline, down 0.2% so far, amid vigilance ahead of March inflation and February trade data.

On the corporate front, domestic airlines are seeking approval for a 15% hike in fuel surcharges and airfare caps as costs surge, signaling early cost-push inflation.

Still, losses were partly cushioned by reports of an additional IDR 100 trillion liquidity injection into state-owned banks, lifting total support to IDR 300 trillion to sustain credit growth.

Sectoral weakness was broad, led by infrastructure, transport, and financials.

Notable laggards included Sumber Alfaria Trijaya (-4.1%), Adaro Andalan Indonesia (-2.5%), Indosat (-2.3%), and Bank Central Asia (-2.0%).

Indonesia Markets Retreat on Profit-Taking, Global Caution
Indonesian shares fell 58 points, or 0.8%, to 7,244 in Thursday’s morning session, halting a two-day rally as traders booked profits. Sentiment was weighed by a slight drop in U.S. stock futures and uncertainty over fast-moving Middle East developments. Vigilance also grew ahead of key domestic data next week, including March inflation and February trade figures. Still, losses were tempered by optimism that Indonesia’s economy remains resilient, supported by strong seasonal consumption during Ramadan and the Eid period. Meanwhile, Bank Indonesia lowered the threshold for monthly cash forex purchases to USD 50 thousand from USD 100 thousand, effective April 1st, aiming to curb speculative pressure on the rupiah. Most sectors in the IDX were lower, led by industrials, energy, and financials. Early laggards included Vale Indonesia (-3.9%), Astra International (-3.4%), Telkom Indonesia (-3.3%), and Trimegah Bangun Persada (-2.1%).

IDX Extends Gains Post-Eid Break
Indonesia’s IDX Composite rose 55 points, or 0.8%, to 7,159 in early Wednesday trade, marking gains for a second session as markets reopened after a week-long Eid holiday. Sentiment was lifted by a surge in U.S. futures on reports that Washington had sent Iran a 15-point ceasefire plan, seeking a month-long pause in hostilities. Locally, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi reaffirmed that Indonesia will not exceed its 3% budget deficit cap. Meanwhile, authorities are considering measures to curb energy use, such as work-from-home policies and hybrid schooling. However, gains were capped by concerns that Jakarta may raise fuel prices after the festive season to offset rising global oil costs. Meanwhile, key domestic data will be due next week, including March inflation and February trade figures. Most sectors advanced, led by energy, industrials, and cyclicals. Early movers included Amman Mineral Intl. (6.7%), Astra Intl. (5.6%), Barito Renewables Energy (3.5%), and Telkom Indonesia (4.3%).
