The continued bomb terror attacks in Surabaya again weighed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange's Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG). According to Bloomberg data, until 10:53 AM today, Monday (May 14th), the IHSG fell to its lowest level of 5,853.877. This figure is down 102.955 points (1.73%) from last weekend's closing.
However, after that, the Jakarta stock index managed to reverse course and rise to 5,906.68 at 11:30 AM WIB. As a result, the index decline in the first session today was not too deep and only amounted to 50.12 points (0.84%) from Friday's close.
Similarly, with the Rupiah exchange rate, in today's spot market, the local currency was traded at Rp 13,988 per US dollar, meaning it depreciated 28 points (0.2%) from last weekend's close of Rp 13,960. However, it was not only the Rupiah that weakened against the US dollar today. The Philippine Peso also weakened by 0.18%, the Malaysian Ringgit by 0.2%, and the Japanese Yen by 0.13%.
