Indonesian stocks fell 49 points or 0.8% to 5,848 in early Monday trade, marking the second straight session of losses as transport, property, and non-cyclicals weakened.
Sentiment stayed cautious ahead of key data releases this week, including June CPI and May trade figures.
Inflation in May edged toward the upper band of Bank Indonesia’s 1-1/2–3-1/2% target at around 3.08%, pressured by rising food and energy costs.
Meanwhile, April’s surplus narrowed to its lowest since 2020, curbing export inflows.
In China, Indonesia's main trading partner, industrial profits grew robustly in the first five months of 2026, buoyed by AI-driven investment and policy support for high industries.
Still, declines were limited by firmer U.S.
futures after Washington and Tehran appeared to step back from fresh escalation, easing concerns over the fragile ceasefire.
Notable laggards included ESSA Industries (-5.6%), Perusahaan Gas Negara (-4.6%), Sumber Alfaria Trijaya (-4.1%), and AKR Corporindo (-2.4%).
