Based on Refinitiv data, the stocks weighing on the IHSG came from\nthe financial sector, which fell 1.49%, followed by the energy sector at\n-1.40% and utilities at -0.75%.<\/p>\n
The stocks dragging the IHSG lower included PT Cipta Selera Murni Tbk\n(CSMI), PT Himalaya Energi Perkasa Tbk (HADE), PT Bumi Teknokultura\nUnggul Tbk (BTEK), PT Fortune Indonesia Tbk (FORU) and PT Multi Garam\nUtama Tbk (FOLK).<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, stocks cushioning the IHSG\u2019s correction included PT\nDanasupra Erapacific Tbk (DEFI), PT Communication Cable Systems\nIndonesia Tbk (CCSI), PT Transkon Jaya Tbk (TRJA), PT Alakasa\nIndustrindo Tbk (ALKA) and PT Semacom Integrated Tbk (SEMA).<\/p>\n
As background, the IHSG\u2019s movement today has been overshadowed by a\nnumber of domestic and international sentiments.<\/p>\n
Domestically, investors are focused on the change of finance minister\nfrom Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa to Suahasil Nazara. Globally, tensions from\nthe war in the Middle East, the direction of The Federal Reserve\u2019s\ninterest rate policy, and the release of Chinese economic data are all\nfactors that could influence market movements.<\/p>\n
At home, market players will be watching the direction of fiscal\npolicy under Suahasil\u2019s leadership. After being sworn in on Monday\n(14\/9\/2026), Suahasil affirmed his commitment to safeguarding the health\nand credibility of the State Budget (APBN), including ensuring the\ndeficit remains below 3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Certainty over\nfiscal policy direction is important for investors amid pressure on the\nrupiah exchange rate and global uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Externally, the escalation of the Middle East conflict has reignited\nconcerns over global energy supplies. The Iran-backed Houthi group\nlaunched attacks on Saudi Arabia on Monday (14\/9\/2026), after Saudi\u2019s\nEast-West oil pipeline was disrupted by earlier strikes.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and diplomatic\nefforts to reopen it face obstacles.<\/p>\n
These conditions have pushed world crude oil prices higher. In\nMonday\u2019s trading, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose 1.24%\nto US$102.65 per barrel, while Brent gained 1.18% to US$106.93 per\nbarrel.<\/p>\n
The rise in oil prices could add to inflationary pressure and\nincrease energy costs, making it a concern for stock markets,\nparticularly in oil-importing countries.<\/p>\n
External pressure is also coming from the outlook for US monetary\npolicy. Bank Indonesia (BI) has warned that the era of higher-for-longer\ninterest rates poses a challenge for developing countries. A stronger US\ndollar and rising US government bond yields could drive capital flows\ntowards developed-market assets, putting pressure on the rupiah and\ndomestic financial markets.<\/p>\n
Investors will also be watching the Federal Open Market Committee\n(FOMC) meeting taking place on 15-16 September US time. Markets expect\nThe Fed to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, with the probability\nof an increase towards the 3.75%-4.00% range at 92.4% according to CME\nFedWatch.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ihsg-weakens-0-76-in-first-session-heres-why-1789455129", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
