Indonesian stocks rose 30 points, or 0.3%, to a new high of 8,645 in early Wednesday trade, marking a third session of gains driven by strength in consumer durables, industrial services, and healthcare. Sentiment was lifted by a modest rise in U.S. futures after an overnight rebound on Wall Street, with bets of a Fed rate cut next week also lifting the mood. Locally, confidence remained steady amid signs of manufacturing stabilisation and fresh capital injections into major SOEs, including Garuda Indonesia. On the policy front, the central bank will convene forums between banks and businesses to address weak loan demand. However, gains were capped by concerns over natural disasters in parts of Sumatra Island, which have knocked out electricity and fuel access. In top trading partner China, service activity slowed further in November despite Beijing’s efforts to spur demand. Notable movers included Raharja Energi Cepu (5.3%), MD Entertainment (4.1%), and Cisarua Mountain Dairy (3.5%).
