Indonesia’s Financial Markets Close with Mixed Outcomes

Indonesia’s financial markets concluded the trading session with varied results. The stock market recorded a modest gain, while the rupiah weakened against the US dollar. Analysts anticipate the domestic market to finish the day in positive territory. For more insights on today’s market projections, refer to page 3 of this article.

Stock Index and Currency Movements

The Indonesia Composite Index (IHSG) rose 0,39% on Thursday (9/4/2026), reaching 7.307,59. This rebound followed a sharp increase of over 4% the previous day, with 374 stocks declining, 278 advancing, and 164 remaining unchanged. Total trading value hit Rp 17,01 trillion, involving 29,05 billion shares in 2,24 million transactions.

According to Refinitiv data, the rupiah closed at Rp17.080/US$, a 0,44% depreciation. This marks a reversal from the prior session’s 0,50% appreciation to Rp17.005/US$. Throughout the trading day, pressure on the rupiah was evident since the opening, with initial weakness at 0,06% before intensifying toward the close.

Global and Domestic Influences

The rupiah’s decline was driven by a mix of external and internal sentiment. Globally, uncertainty over the US-China standoff persisted, despite a slight weakening in the US dollar index (DXY) to 99,078. Domestically, the World Bank’s latest report trimmed Indonesia’s 2026 economic growth forecast to 4,7%, below the prior estimate of 4,8% and the government’s APBN target of 5,4%.

US Market and Oil Prices

Wall Street continued its upward trend on Thursday and Friday morning, bolstered by trader optimism that the fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran would hold. The S&P 500 rose 0,62% to 6.824,66, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0,83% to 22.822,42. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 275,88 points, or 0,58%, ending at 48.185,80.

“Negaranya setuju membuka negosiasi langsung dengan Lebanon,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The S&P 500’s rise was supported by Meta Platforms’ stock surge of 2,6% after the company unveiled its latest artificial intelligence model. Defensive sectors also showed strength, with Walmart and utility stocks like American Electric Power climbing. This follows a 2% jump in three major US indices on Wednesday, with the Dow hitting its best day since April 2025 after President Donald Trump softened his stance on high initial tariffs.

“Serangan Israel yang berlanjut ke Lebanon sebagai pelanggaran terhadap kesepakatan gencatan senjata,” noted Iran’s parliamentary leader Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
