Ahead of Stock Exchange Opening, Check IHSG Data Post-Eid
Ahead of the stock exchange opening, the movement of the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) on the first trading day after the long Eid al-Fitr holiday indicates balanced probabilities. The Indonesian stock exchange will reopen on Wednesday (25/3/2026) after the long Eid holiday since 18 March 2026. Based on data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) for the period 2016 to 2025, the IHSG recorded strengthening five times and weakening five times when the exchange resumed operations. From a fundamental perspective, the index movement at the start of trading after the holiday represents a price adjustment (price-in). While the domestic exchange was closed, global macroeconomic dynamics continued to unfold. Various external sentiments, economic data releases, or international policies that emerged during that period will be responded to by the market simultaneously on the first trading day.
