On Wednesday, 4 March 2026, IHSG fell as much as 4.57 percent to 7,577.06. A market analyst and founder of Republik Investor, Hendra Wardana, said the significant weakness in IHSG on Wednesday reflected the accumulation of pressures from both global and domestic sources arriving simultaneously. He noted that the pressure on IHSG intensified after global rating agency Fitch Ratings lowered Indonesia’s outlook from stable to negative, although the credit rating remained at investment grade, BBB. ‘The change in outlook is not a downgrade of the rating, but the market reads the move as a signal of rising risks going forward, particularly regarding fiscal resilience and policy stability,’ Hendra told Antara on Wednesday, 4 March 2026.
