Video: Profit from Investing in Indonesia's Financial Markets Amid the Middle East Conflict

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — Global uncertainty remains a challenge to the economy and investment prospects in 2026, as geopolitical tensions involving Russia and Ukraine, the Middle East, and trade wars, as well as import tariff policies implemented by US President Donald Trump, continue to weigh on sentiment.

William Prasetyo, Head of Investment Research at Pluang, says these mounting geopolitical tensions are a sentiment that undoubtedly affects various sectors, including world crude oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and a global economic slowdown.

This global volatility will also impact financial markets worldwide, including in Indonesia, though Pluang, the developer of investment app services, still sees prospects to capitalise on investment opportunities in 2026.

In addition, developments in digitalisation in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are also a factor shaping investment strategy today.
