Indonesian equities rose 19 points or 0.2% to 8,388 in early Friday trade, reversing modest losses from the previous session, supported by gains in health services, communications, and energy minerals. Sentiment also improved as U.S. futures edged higher after President Donald Trump signed legislation to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Meanwhile, retail and consumer sentiment in Indonesia have remained firm in recent months, backed by a resilient macro backdrop despite pockets of sectoral weakness. Notable laggards included Bumi Resources (-6.5%), Timah Tbk (-5.9%), Bank Permata (-2.9%), and Bayan Resources (-1.0%). For the week, however, the market is on track for a slight decline, down around 0.2% so far, weighed by caution ahead of next week’s interest rate decision. In China, Indonesia’s top trading partner, both industrial output and retail sales posted their slowest growth in 14 months during October, while new yuan loans fell more than expected.
