This upward momentum in the Indonesian capital market was primarily driven by the palpable optimism surrounding an improving domestic economic outlook. According to Phintraco Sekuritas’ research team in Jakarta, this sentiment, coupled with expectations for enhanced year-end market performance, was a key catalyst behind the IHSG’s robust strengthening.

Further reinforcing this positive sentiment, domestic economic indicators painted a favorable picture. Indonesia’s inflation rate for October 2025 registered at 0.28 percent month-to-month (mtm) and 2.86 percent year-on-year (yoy). These figures represent an uptick from September 2025, which saw inflation at 0.21 percent (mtm) and 2.65 percent (yoy), suggesting a managed inflationary environment amidst growth.

Adding to the encouraging data, Indonesia’s Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) also showed significant improvement. It rose to 51.2 in October 2025, up from 50.4 in September 2025, marking the third consecutive month of expansion. This consistent growth in manufacturing activity underscores strengthening industrial output and business confidence.

However, the economic landscape presented a nuanced view with the latest trade figures. Indonesia’s trade balance recorded a surplus of USD 4.34 billion in September 2025. While still a healthy surplus, this figure did show a decrease compared to the USD 5.49 billion surplus reported in August 2025.

Throughout the trading day, the IHSG demonstrated consistent strength. The index opened with gains and successfully maintained its positive trajectory through the close of the first session. This upward momentum continued into the second session, keeping the IHSG firmly in the green until the final bell, reflecting sustained investor confidence.
