Conversely, some stocks exerted downward pressure, tempering the overall index ascent.

The research team at Phintraco Sekuritas noted that persistent geopolitical tensions are prompting market participants to adopt a “risk-off” stance. This sentiment is exacerbated by rising crude oil prices, which threaten to fuel global inflation. Such conditions are inevitably weighing on the performance of the domestic index.
In response to these market pressures, the Indonesian government is taking proactive measures to curb inflationary impacts through fiscal policy. An incentive package includes a six-month waiver of import duties, setting the tariff at 0% for LPG and several plastic products, effective from May 2026. This is a significant move, considering the current 5% import tariff on LPG.
This strategic step is expected to alleviate the financial burden on consumers and help stabilize prices, particularly given the recent surge in energy commodity costs driven by ongoing geopolitical strife. The government aims to insulate the domestic economy from external shocks.
On the global front, investor attention is keenly focused on the outcome of the US Federal Reserve’s meeting and the subsequent statement from the Fed Chair, both scheduled for release on Wednesday, local time. The future direction of US monetary policy is widely anticipated to be a crucial determinant for global capital flows and market sentiment.
Furthermore, this week will also see the release of several key US economic indicators, including building permits, durable goods orders, housing starts, PCE-based inflation figures, and the first-quarter 2026 GDP growth. These data points will provide further insights into the health of the world’s largest economy.
Domestically, market participants are closely monitoring the first-quarter 2026 earnings season and various corporate actions by issuers. These activities, ranging from dividend distributions to rights issues, hold the potential to significantly influence stock movements across different sectors of the Indonesian market.

Furthermore, investors are closely watching the outcome of the US Federal Reserve’s meeting and upcoming US economic indicators for future market direction.
