Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) witnessed a recovery on Wednesday (8/4/2026), with the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) soaring 4.42 percent to close at 7,279.21 triggered by a wave of investor optimism following the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran and the subsequent reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

"The significant jump in the IHSG is a direct reaction to easing geopolitical tensions, which has effectively reduced fears of global energy supply disruptions," said Hendra Wardana, Capital Market Analyst and Founder of Republik Investor, as cited by antaranews.com

The easing of conflict risks prompted global investors to shift back into "risk-on" mode, flooding emerging markets like Indonesia with capital. All eleven sectors on the IDX-IC finished in the green, led by the basic materials sector with a staggering 8.86 percent gain. 

Despite the rally, analysts cautioned that the "Trump effect" remains dynamic and unpredictable; investors are advised to maintain strict risk management as current gains may reflect a technical rebound rather than a permanent long-term trend. Trading volume surged to 43 billion shares valued at Rp22.62 trillion, mirroring similar bullish sentiment across regional Asian markets including the Nikkei and Hang Seng.
