IHSG Opens First Session Up 0.29% at 6,383 Level

The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) opened higher on Monday (10/8/2026), after falling in the previous session. According to data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), at 09:00 WIB the IHSG stood at 6,383.81, up 0.29% from the previous close.

Transaction value reached Rp139.52 billion, with trading volume of 385.31 million shares across 28,660 transactions. A total of 222 stocks advanced, 79 declined, and 318 were unchanged.

The IHSG’s movement today remains overshadowed by a number of domestic and global sentiments.

US President Donald Trump on Monday (10/8/2026) responded to Iran’s demands for a peace deal with new conditions requiring Tehran to pay compensation for deaths caused by war, attacks, and demonstrations.

Trump said Iran must pay for damage over the past 50 years, including compensation for US civilians and troops killed in the region. This new demand could further complicate efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Previously, Iran demanded compensation, an end to sanctions, and a halt to US military threats as conditions for reopening the strategic waterway.

Oil prices surged around 5% on Monday (10/8/2026) amid doubts that the US and Iran would reach a deal to reopen shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. WTI closed at US$82.13 per barrel, while Brent stood at US$87.72 per barrel.

Domestically, after a prolonged period of net selling, foreign investors have begun returning to the Indonesian stock market, albeit on a limited scale.

In Monday’s trading, foreigners recorded a net foreign inflow of Rp829.69 billion in the all market, but posted a net foreign sell of Rp875.51 billion in the regular market.

Of the 141 trading days since 2 January, foreigners have recorded net sells on 93 days and net buys on 48 days. Thus, a single session of large buying has not erased the year-long distribution trend.

On a year-to-date basis, the stock market has seen a net foreign outflow of Rp70.46 trillion in the all market and Rp95.37 trillion in the regular market.

The Indonesian stock market recorded a very large net buy on Friday last week, amounting to Rp1.24 trillion in the overall market, while the regular market saw a net inflow of Rp917.23 billion.

The return of foreign investors is welcome news after they fled en masse during the May-July 2026 period. However, this foreign support remains very limited.
