The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) has fallen 1.54% to 6,098.97 points since the beginning of the year until May 27, 2019. This performance of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) index is the second worst in ASEAN after the FTSE Bursa Malaysia index, which slumped 5.28% to 1,601.35 points.
The decline in the JCI is more significantly influenced by external factors. Some of these factors include uncertainty due to the US-China trade war, The Fed's interest rate policy, and the MSCI Emerging Market Index rebalancing.
Nevertheless, the IDX, which records an average frequency of 400,000 transactions per day, is the most active exchange in ASEAN. Since the beginning of this year, foreign investors have also recorded a net buy of Rp 53.43 trillion.
