Indonesia’s IDX Composite rose 38 points, or 0.6%, to 6,558 in early Friday trade, extending momentum from the prior session after Wall Street’s overnight strength buoyed sentiment. Investors awaited signals on the Fed’s rate path from Chair Kevin Warsh’s debut Jackson Hole speech later today. Locally, confidence was steadied by Thursday’s orderly protest in Jakarta, with no major security disruptions. At the same time, attention turned to the House of Representatives’ expected announcement on the Bank Indonesia governor candidate. Upside was tempered, however, by caution ahead of next week’s August inflation data, with El Niño risks fueling concern over food prices, while July trade figures are also due. Energy, financials, and non-cyclicals led gains, with Petrindo Jaya Kreasi (4.3%), Elang Mahkota Teknologi (2.0%), Bank Central Asia (1.2%), and Sumber Alfaria Trijaya (1.1%) among standouts. For the week, the market is poised for a second straight rise, up about 0.4% so far.
