The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) fell 1.49% to 7,034.14 at the close of trading on Thursday (30/5/2024).
According to Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas, today's index decline was influenced by market sentiment regarding the expected stance of The Fed, which is predicted to maintain higher interest rates for a longer period.
"The market is speculating that the Fed may delay the start of the easing cycle, or even decide not to cut interest rates at all this year, resulting in the market holding back from entering the equity market," said the Pilarmas Investindo team, as reported by Antara, Thursday (30/5/2024).
