The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) fell 41.57 points, or 0.62%, to close at 6,704.231 on Thursday (25/5/2023).
The weakening of the stock index today is in line with the lack of agreement in the US debt ceiling negotiations.
"The dominant sentiment is still related to the risk of a US government debt default ahead of the June 1 deadline, following the deadlock in negotiations between the US government and the US Congress," said Nicodimus Kristiantoro, Research & Consulting Manager of Infovesta Kapital Advisori, as quoted by Antara, Thursday (25/5/2023).
Domestically, Nicodimus continued, the release of the Bank Indonesia (BI) Board of Governors Meeting (RDG) had been projected by the market, so it did not significantly move the market.
BI again maintained its benchmark interest rate or BI 7-Day Reverse Repo Rate (BI7DRR) at 5.75%.
