The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) strengthened by 34.22 points or 0.5% to 6,821.81 at the close of trading on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
Today's index strengthening is in line with Bank Indonesia maintaining its benchmark interest rate.
"Domestically, ahead of the Idul Fitri holiday and joint leave, the IHSG strengthened, with market players expecting Bank Indonesia to maintain the benchmark interest rate at 5.75%," said the Research Team of Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas, as quoted by Antara, Tuesday (18/4/2023).
Bank Indonesia (BI) again maintained its benchmark interest rate, the BI 7-Day Reverse Repo Rate (BI7DRR), at 5.75% in the Board of Governors Meeting (RDG) on April 17-18, 2023, after last raising the benchmark rate in January 2023.
In addition, the deposit facility interest rate was also maintained at 5% and the lending facility interest rate remained at 6.5%.
"This decision is consistent with the pre-emptive and forward-looking monetary policy stance to ensure the continued decline in inflation expectations and future inflation," said BI Governor Perry Warjiyo.
From abroad, according to the Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas Research Team, the market tends to be pressured as market players predict that the Fed will raise its benchmark interest rate next month.
