The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) fell 1.40% to 6,648.14 at the close of trading on Monday (February 10, 2025).
According to Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas, this weakening was due to the sentiment surrounding the 25% import tariff policy implemented by United States President Donald Trump.
"The US government's tariff policy is predicted to continue, thus impacting emerging market countries," wrote the Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas Research Team in its study, as reported by Antara on Monday (February 10, 2025).
Indonesia is one of the countries affected by this policy, as it is considered to be vulnerable to interest rate levels and requires more significant cuts to its benchmark interest rate.
