JCI Today, 25 March 2026: Rebounds to 7,199 After Eid Holiday

The Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) today, 25 March 2026, showed an impressive performance. Although it opened in negative territory, the JCI managed a sharp rebound, breaking through the psychological level of 7,200 in the middle of the first session.

According to RTI Business data, the JCI opened weaker by 0.31% at 7,084.62. However, within minutes, massive buying action pushed the index to reverse direction. By 11:05 WIB, the JCI was recorded strengthening 1.30% or up 92.36 points to 7,199.20.

Today’s JCI surge was driven by positive sentiment from the global stage. US President Donald Trump announced a delay in military strikes against Iran’s energy infrastructure for five days. The market interpreted this move as a signal of de-escalation in the Middle East conflict, which immediately triggered gains in stock markets across Asia.

Capital market analysts assessed that this optimism provides room for domestic investors to accumulate shares, particularly in sectors previously pressured by concerns over the energy crisis.

The energy sector became the star of today’s trading with a rise of 3.91%. This was followed by the industrial sector, which strengthened 3.74%, and the transportation sector, which surged 2.47%.

On the other hand, the JCI’s strengthening was slightly held back by fluctuations in the rupiah currency. On Wednesday morning, the rupiah in the spot market weakened 0.13% to Rp16,920 per US dollar. Pressure on the rupiah was triggered by the hawkish stance of the Fed, which maintained high interest rates in the 3.5% - 3.75% range.

Bank Indonesia (BI) itself has responded by lowering the threshold for US dollar purchases that require documentation to US$50,000 to dampen speculative actions in the foreign exchange market.
