JAKARTA – The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) commenced trading on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, with a weaker stance, opening at 7,083.07. However, even as the broader index faced headwinds, several key stocks, notably ASII, TLKM, and AMMN, showcased remarkable resilience, registering solid gains.
According to data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), the IHSG experienced a decline of 0.33%, or 23.76 points, settling at 7,083.07 by 09:01 AM Western Indonesian Time (WIB). Throughout early trading, the index demonstrated volatility, touching an intraday low of 7,057.22 before recovering slightly to a high of 7,097.40.
Market breadth painted a mixed picture: 190 stocks strengthened, 312 experienced corrections, and 199 remained stagnant. The total market capitalization for the Indonesian stock market reached an impressive Rp12,523.90 trillion.
Amidst the overall downturn in the composite index, several prominent large-cap stocks defied the trend. Automotive giant PT Astra International Tbk. (ASII) led the charge among these outperformers, surging by 6.03% to reach Rp6,150 per share.

Following ASII‘s robust performance, telecommunications heavyweight PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. (TLKM) climbed 3.61% to Rp3,160. Concurrently, mining major PT Amman Mineral Internasional Tbk. (AMMN) saw its shares appreciate by 3.24%, reaching Rp4,780 per share.
Further strengthening the bullish segment, shares of PT Chandra Asri Pacific Tbk. (TPIA) rose 0.98%. This was complemented by gains from PT Barito Renewables Energy Tbk. (BREN), which advanced 0.43%, and PT Bayan Resources Tbk. (BYAN), recording a 0.49% appreciation.
Conversely, some big caps registered declines. PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. (BBNI) experienced a significant correction of 8.20%, falling to Rp4,030. Similarly, data center provider PT DCI Indonesia Tbk. (DCII) saw its shares decrease by 4.27% to Rp200,050 per share.
On the flip side of the market, today’s top gainers included PT Rockfields Properti Indonesia Tbk. (ROCK), which soared an impressive 17.90% to Rp4,150. Another notable performer was PT Island Concepts Indonesia Tbk. (ICON), showcasing substantial growth of 17.24% to Rp124.

Looking ahead, BNI Sekuritas anticipates a potential strengthening of the IHSG once the market fully resumes operations following the lengthy Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah holiday. This optimistic outlook builds on recent market momentum.
Fanny Suherman, Head of Retail Research at BNI Sekuritas, highlighted that before the extended holiday period, the IHSG closed 1.2% higher, primarily driven by net buying from foreign investors amounting to approximately Rp155 billion. Key stocks that attracted significant foreign interest included EMAS, AADI, TLKM, ITMG, and ARCI.
“The IHSG is poised to continue its upward trajectory today, with a support range projected between 6,950 and 7,000, and resistance anticipated at levels of 7,170 to 7,300,” Fanny detailed in her daily research publication on Wednesday, March 25, 2026.
This potential for domestic market strengthening emerges amidst a diverse global market landscape. Wall Street, the benchmark for U.S. stock exchanges, closed lower on Tuesday, March 24, primarily due to escalating concerns over conflicts in the Middle East.
Specifically, the Dow Jones experienced a slight dip of 0.18%, and the S&P 500 corrected by 0.37%. However, the energy sector provided a crucial boost to the market, buoyed by an increase in global oil prices.
Conversely, Asia-Pacific markets generally showed positive movement. This optimism stemmed from signs of de-escalaion in various conflicts and a slowdown in Japan’s inflation rate to 1.3%, which notably falls below the central bank’s target. Such conditions are expected to create a conducive environment for capital inflows into emerging markets.
