2026-11-02 02:51 By Farida Husna 1 min. read

Indonesian stocks fell 39 points, or 0.8%, to 5,022 on the first trading day of a new month, extending losses for a third session.

Caution prevailed ahead of September trade and October inflation data due later today.

In August, imports continued to outpace exports, highlighting external risks, particularly from Middle East tensions.

Meanwhile, September inflation accelerated to a three-month high of 3.28% amid El Niño-related food price pressures.

Still, gains in U.S.

equity futures limited the fall ahead of further earnings reports, jobs data, and the midterm elections.

Meanwhile, factory activity in Indonesia grew the most since March 2024, as output, new orders, and foreign demand all rose.

Regionally, China's central bank shifted its short-term monetary policy framework toward the overnight rate, signaling a move closer to the operating systems of major central banks.

Among the biggest laggards were Adaro Andalan Indonesia (-6.5%), Mitra Adiperkasa (-5.7%), and Bukit Asam (-3.1%).

Indonesian Shares Recoup Early Losses in Afternoon Trade
Indonesian shares climbed 44 points, or 0.9%, to 5,113 on Monday afternoon, reversing early losses as sentiment improved amid stronger U.S. stock futures and falling oil prices following reports of renewed U.S.-Iran diplomatic efforts to ease Middle East tensions. Traders also eagerly anticipate further corporate earnings, U.S. jobs data, and the upcoming midterm elections. Locally, sentiment was lifted by a stronger-than-expected September trade surplus, as exports grew more than forecast while imports unexpectedly slowed. Meanwhile, the Indonesian bourse officially implemented a major reform, excluding 81 stocks classified as having High Shareholding Concentration from benchmark index calculations. The measure was fast-tracked in response to MSCI warnings over potential market reclassification. Most sectors advanced, led by basic materials, energy, and infrastructure. Top movers included Darma Henwa (10.3%), Bumi Resources (9.2%), Indika Energy (8.4%), and Merdeka Battery (6.7%).

Indonesian Stocks Poised for Steep Weekly, Monthly Decline
Indonesia’s IDX Composite plunged 95 points, or 1.9%, to 5,005 in Friday morning trade, extending prior losses and heading for a weekly drop of around 8%, reversing the previous week’s gains. Weaker U.S. stock futures hit sentiment after Alphabet suffered a historic share-price decline, dragging Wall Street lower overnight and reigniting concerns over the returns on heavy AI investments. Locally, political tensions persisted amid student protests in major cities since early October. Rupiah’s continued weakness, fiscal worries from oil prices above USD 100 per barrel, and sustained foreign net selling added to the strain. Inflation concerns also intensified ahead of next week’s October data. All sectors retreated, led by basic materials, infrastructure, transport, and energy. Major laggards included Barito Pacific (-7%), Surya Citra Media (-6.9%), and Telkom Indonesia (-2.3%). For October, the benchmark has tumbled 17.5% so far, putting it on track for a second straight monthly fall.
