JCI Opens Weaker by 0.22% at 7,148 on Friday Morning

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) opened weaker at the start of trading on Friday (27/3/2026). According to data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), the JCI fell 15.93 points or 0.22% to the level of 7,148.16.

The JCI opened at 7,136.37, lower than the previous close at 7,164.09. Throughout the early trading session, the index moved within the range of 7,116.49 to 7,153.44.

Trading activity in the early session was observed to be quite active. Trading volume reached 1.720 billion shares with a transaction value of around Rp 972.8 billion.

In terms of stock movements, 223 stocks strengthened, 267 stocks weakened, and 468 stocks remained stagnant.

Several major stock indices moved in unison in the red zone, reflecting a still cautious market sentiment.

The LQ45 Index fell 0.45% to 728.45. The IDX30 also weakened by 0.46% to 396.63.

The Indonesia Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) declined 0.18% to 251.07, while the JII70 weakened 0.18% to 181.62.

Capital market observer and Founder of Republik Investor, Hendra Wardana, assessed that the JCI is still overshadowed by global sentiment, particularly from oil price movements and expectations of US interest rates.

According to him, these dynamics are increasing investor concerns regarding global inflation pressures and the direction of future monetary policy.

However, if geopolitical tensions heat up again and oil prices continue to rise, the JCI has the potential to retest the psychological level around 7,000.

“The market is currently very sensitive to inflation and interest rate issues, so every global development will quickly be reflected in index movements,” said Hendra.

In such conditions, market players tend to be more selective in placing funds, while awaiting clarity on the direction of global sentiment.
