Indonesian Stocks Slump to One-Month Low on Broad-Based Sector Declines

Indonesia's benchmark stock index fell sharply at the close of trading on Tuesday, hitting a new one-month low amid a broad-based sell-off. The IDX Composite Index (JKSE) declined by 1.87%, reflecting widespread negative sentiment among investors.

Sector-Wide Weakness

The downturn was led by significant losses in several key segments of the market. According to closing data from the Jakarta Stock Exchange, the heaviest pressure came from the Financials, Infrastructure, and Agriculture sectors.

Market breadth confirmed the bearish tone of the session, with declining stocks heavily outnumbering advancers. A total of 591 stocks fell, while only 130 posted gains, and 109 remained unchanged.

Notable Stock Movers

While the broader market struggled, a few stocks registered standout performances. The top gainers included:

Ad

• Fortune Indonesia Tbk (JK:FORU), which surged 56.51%.
• Batavia Prosperindo Trans Tbk PT (JK:BPTR), adding 32.43%.
• Asia Sejahtera Mina Tbk (JK:AGAR), which climbed 24.78% to reach an all-time high.

On the other end of the spectrum, the session's worst performers were led by Bumi Benowo Sukses Sejahtera Pt (JK:BBSS), which dropped 13.73%, and Perintis Triniti Properti PT (JK:TRIN), which fell 13.50%.

Currency and Commodity Context

In currency markets, the Indonesian Rupiah weakened against the U.S. dollar, with the USD/IDR pair rising 0.34% to 17,885.50. This move coincided with a 0.21% gain in the U.S. Dollar Index Futures, which often puts pressure on emerging market currencies.

Elsewhere, commodity prices were mixed. Brent crude oil for November delivery rose 1.38% to $101.72 a barrel, while the December Gold Futures contract declined.
