The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) closed up 7.03 points or 0.1% to 6,736.684 at the end of trading on Tuesday (23/5/2023).
This strengthening of the stock index occurred amidst a weakening of Asian regional stock exchanges.
"At the end of trading, the IHSG closed in the green, while Asian stock indices weakened. This is in line with the market players' stance amid ongoing negotiations between the US President and the Speaker of the House, with no agreement yet reached on the debt ceiling," said the Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas Research Team, as quoted by Antara, Tuesday (23/5/2023).
However, according to the Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas Research Team, market players are also concerned about the potential for renewed tensions between the US and China related to the semiconductor technology war, where Chinese regulators declared that products from US chipmaker Micron Technology Inc. failed network security tests.
Major information infrastructure operators in China will be prohibited from purchasing Micron products from the US chip company.
Based on RTI Business data, the IHSG today moved in the range of 6,727.068 to 6,772.647.
Trading frequency of domestic stocks today reached 1.35 million transactions. A total of 18.03 billion shares changed hands, with a total transaction value of Rp10.91 trillion.
