The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) weakened by 0.34% to 7,479.50 at the close of trading on Monday (November 4, 2024).
Ajaib Sekuritas assessed that this weakening was partly driven by profit-taking by foreign investors in the domestic equity market, amounting to Rp2.64 trillion.
"Market players need to consider the impact of the rupiah's renewed depreciation and the high-interest rate environment on consumer purchasing power," said the Ajaib Sekuritas team, as reported by Katadata, Monday (November 4, 2024).
