JCI Opens Up 0.12% at 7,182 Level
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) opened higher in trading today, Friday (8/5/2026), after closing strongly in the previous session.
The JCI began trading at the 7,182.96 level, up 8.64 points (0.12%) from the prior day. A total of 207 stocks rose, 103 fell, and 328 remained unchanged.
However, just two minutes after the market opened, the JCI dipped into the red zone, weakening by up to 0.34%. Banking stocks were the most actively traded at the start of the session today.
The transaction value reached Rp 295.63 billion, involving 1.36 million shares in 44,563 transactions. Market capitalisation also rose to Rp 12,818 trillion.
As the trading week concludes, market participants will face several sentiments from both domestic and international sources. Internationally, developments in the ongoing war remain a primary focus, while domestically, one key factor is the announcement of foreign exchange reserves.
Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific markets opened lower on Friday due to renewed concerns over the heated dispute between Iran and the US amid a fragile ceasefire.
The US and Iran exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz, with each side claiming the other initiated the attack.
Despite the escalation, President Donald Trump insisted that the ceasefire remains in effect, describing the incident as “just a light touch” during a phone call with a reporter on Thursday evening.
Trump later claimed in a subsequent Truth Social post that the US had “completely destroyed” the Iranian forces involved in the firefight, which he said included small boats and drones that “fell beautifully into the sea, like butterflies falling to their graves!”
He reiterated that Iran would face further attacks if they do not agree to a nuclear deal.
“Just like we beat them again today, we will beat them much harder and much more brutally in the future if they do not sign their deal, IMMEDIATELY!” Trump wrote.
