Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) surged more than 1% after opening in the red zone this morning, Wednesday (25/3/2026). The index opened down 0.31% at 7,084 in early trading, but less than an hour after the market opened, the IHSG jumped 1.05% or 75 points to 7,181.65.

Conglomerate stocks rose in unison today, supporting the IHSG’s performance.
Today marks the first trading day for the IHSG after the long holidays for Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr. For investors, the IHSG during this year’s Ramadan is not something to remember fondly, as it was battered, causing many investors to incur losses.
Market participants today will once again monitor several important sentiments in the remaining trading days of this week, which will only be open for three days until Friday.
Even though this week is shorter, investor attention remains focused on various important agendas from global and domestic sources.
From developments in money supply, US consumer sentiment data, US import and export price releases, to initial US unemployment claims that will provide the latest picture of the Uncle Sam’s labour market conditions.
This series of sentiments is expected to act as catalysts driving the market, from stocks and the rupiah exchange rate to commodity prices throughout this week’s trading.
Asia-Pacific markets opened higher on Wednesday, with comments from US President Donald Trump pointing towards potential talks with Iran boosting positive market sentiment, although Tehran has denied any direct negotiations with Washington.
Speaking in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump said the US and Iran are “currently in negotiations” and hinted that Tehran wants to reach a peace deal, adding that he has withdrawn threats to target Iran’s energy infrastructure “based on the fact that we are negotiating.”
