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

The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) opened higher on Monday (10/8/2026) trading, recovering after a correction the previous day. According to data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), at 09.00 WIB the IHSG stood at 6,383.81, appreciating 0.29% from the prior close. Transaction value reached Rp 139.52 billion with a trading volume of 385.31 million shares across 28,660 transactions. A total of 222 stocks advanced, 79 declined, and 318 remained unchanged. The movement of the IHSG today remains overshadowed by a number of sentiments from both domestic and global sources. US President Donald Trump on Monday responded to Iran’s demands for a peace deal with new demands that Tehran pay compensation for casualties resulting from wars, attacks, and demonstrations. Trump stated that Iran must pay for damages occurring over the past 50 years, including compensation for US civilians and troops killed in the region. This new demand potentially complicates efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Previously, Iran demanded compensation, the cessation of sanctions, and an end to US military threats as conditions for reopening the strategic waterway. Oil prices surged approximately 5% on Monday due to doubts that the US and Iran would reach an agreement to reopen shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. WTI closed at US$82.13 per barrel, while Brent closed at US$87.72 per barrel. Domestically, after a very long period of net selling, foreign investors have begun to re-enter the Indonesian stock market, albeit on a limited basis. On Monday’s trading, foreigners recorded a net foreign inflow of Rp 829.53 billion in the all market, but still posted a net foreign sell of Rp 875.51 billion in the regular market. Out of 141 trading days since 2 January, foreigners have recorded net sells on 93 days and net buys on just 48 days. Consequently, on a year-to-date basis, the stock market has experienced a net foreign outflow of Rp 70.46 trillion in the all market and Rp 95.37 trillion in the regular market. The Indonesian stock market had previously recorded a significant net buy on Friday last week, amounting to Rp 1.24 trillion in the overall market, while the regular market saw a net inflow of Rp 917.23 billion. The return of foreign investors is welcome news following a massive exodus during the May-July 2026 period, though the current buying momentum remains very limited.
