A total of 597 stocks rose, 164 fell, and 197 remained unchanged. The trading value today reached Rp25.84 trillion, involving 36.33 billion shares in 2.1 million transactions. Market capitalisation also rose to Rp12,842 trillion.

According to Refinitiv, all sectors were in the green zone. The industry, primary consumer, and energy sectors recorded the largest gains.

This was in line with Astra (ASII) shares, which rose 13.79% to 6,600. ASII was recorded as the main driver of the IHSG today, with a weight of 32.76 index points. This was followed by Telkom (TLKM), which rose 8.2% and contributed 26.3 index points to the IHSG.

Although this week is shorter, investor attention remains focused on various important global and domestic agendas.

From developments in money supply, US consumer sentiment data, the release of US import and export prices, to initial US unemployment claims, which will provide the latest picture of the Uncle Sam’s labour market conditions.

This series of sentiments is expected to act as a catalyst for market drivers, from stocks and the rupiah exchange rate to commodity prices throughout this week’s trading.

Meanwhile, global oil prices came under pressure again in Wednesday morning trading (25/3/2026), with a decline approaching 5% as market concerns over supply disruptions from the Middle East eased.

According to Reuters, this decline was triggered by rising expectations of a ceasefire between the United States and Iran. The US government is reported to have sent a 15-point peace proposal to end the conflict that has long disrupted global energy distribution.

Nissan Securities Investment analyst Hiroyuki Kikukawa stated that the market is starting to take profit-taking actions after prices had surged. Expectations of easing conflict are encouraging market participants to reduce positions, although the direction of negotiations remains uncertain.
