Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) saw the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) edge up by 0.39 percent to 7,307.59 on Thursday (9/4/2026), weathering a storm of regional skepticism regarding the stability of the US-Iran ceasefire.
"Market uncertainty persists as reports of ceasefire violations in Lebanon drive oil prices back toward the 98 USD mark, weighing heavily on Asian regional indices," explained Maximilianus Nico Demus, the Associate Director of Research at Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas, in his market analysis, as reported by antaranews.com
Despite the geopolitical friction and Teheran's continued partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, domestic confidence was bolstered by President Prabowo Subianto’s assurance that national fuel supplies remain secure for the upcoming year.
The energy sector led the gains with a 2.03 percent increase, acting as a defensive cushion against a backdrop where regional peers, including the Nikkei and Shanghai Composite, faced notable declines. While global eyes remain fixed on the Federal Reserve’s potential rate hikes to curb inflation, the IHSG managed to pivot into the green during the second trading session, closing with a total transaction value of Rp16.97 trillion.
