Indonesian stocks rose 56 points, or 0.9%, to 6,180 on Tuesday, the first trading day of June, rebounding after two sessions of losses as markets reopened post-holiday.
Sentiment improved on Wall Street’s fresh record highs overnight, fueled by optimism over a potential peaceful resolution to the Iran conflict and enthusiasm for Nvidia’s new laptop chip.
Domestically, investors welcomed the government’s pledge of transparency in a newly formed state-owned exporter of key commodities, expected to bolster tax collection, retain more export earnings onshore, and improve dollar liquidity after repeated rupiah lows this year.
However, gains were capped by caution ahead of May inflation and April trade data due later in the day.
Energy, cyclical, and industrials led advances, offset by weakness in transport, non-cyclicals, and healthcare.
Standout movers included Dian Swastatika Sentosa (25.0%), Sumber Alfaria Trijaya (10.4%), Medco Energi (6.6%), and Raharja Energi Cepu (3.8%).
