Additional downward pressure was seen in PT Kalbe Farma Tbk. (KLBF), which shed 1.13% to Rp875, and PT Mayora Indah Tbk. (MYOR), which dipped 1.11% to Rp1,780.

The research team at Sinarmas Sekuritas noted that domestic market sentiment was influenced by government fiscal adjustments. The Deputy Minister of Finance announced a reduction in the Nutritious Meal (MBG) program from five to four days per week, a move expected to save the State Budget (APBN) up to Rp50 trillion annually. Furthermore, the government implemented a temporary 0% import duty on packaging plastics and LPG for six months, effective May 2026, to mitigate the impact of rising global oil prices.

On the global front, the Bank of Japan decided to maintain its benchmark interest rate at 0.75% during its April 2026 meeting. Meanwhile, India’s industrial production recorded a 4.1% year-on-year growth in March 2026, a slight slowdown from the 5.1% growth observed the previous month.

In the commodities market, gold remains under pressure. The precious metal traded below the US$4,600 per ounce level after falling nearly 2% to a one-month low. This weakness stems from stalled peace negotiations between the United States and Iran, alongside mounting concerns over a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which could further intensify global inflationary pressures.

Summary

The Bisnis-27 Index concluded the trading session on April 22, 2026, with a 0.16% gain, settling at 469.89. This positive performance was primarily driven by significant growth in major blue-chip stocks, including ASII, PTBA, BBNI, DSNG, MEDC, and JPFA, supported by robust market liquidity of Rp5.524 trillion.

Market sentiment was influenced by domestic fiscal policies, such as the adjustment to the Nutritious Meal program and new import duty regulations, alongside global economic factors like the Bank of Japan’s interest rate decision. While many stocks rallied, others faced selling pressure, particularly in the mining and consumer sectors, amid broader concerns regarding commodity prices and global inflation.
