The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) fell 13.67 points, or 0.21%, to close at 6,628.14 on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.
This weakening occurred despite the announcement of a trade surplus. Indonesia's Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) reported a trade surplus of USD 5.48 billion in February 2023, up from USD 3.87 billion in January 2023.
"The trade surplus will provide a positive catalyst. However, the market seems to be adopting a wait-and-see approach, awaiting Bank Indonesia's (BI) policy direction regarding its benchmark interest rate, which will be released tomorrow, Thursday, and will provide clues to domestic monetary stability," said the research team at Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas, as quoted by Antara news agency on Wednesday (15/3/2023).
