Indonesia’s IDX Composite rose 43 points, or 0.5%, to a fresh record of 8,672 in early Monday trade, rebounding from Friday’s muted finish as most sectors advanced, led by consumer durables, communications, and industrial services. Sentiment improved following gains on Wall Street Friday, with optimism growing that the Fed will cut rates later this week and possibly again in January. Locally, the economic outlook remains stable yet cautious, with near-term momentum hinging on fiscal support to address severe natural disaster damage in Sumatra, the worst in over a decade. Gains were tempered by caution ahead of key economic releases from top trading partner China, including December trade data and CPI and PPI this week. Bank Indonesia will also publish November consumer confidence and October retail sales in the coming days. Early notable gainers included Indokripto Koin Semesta (8.7%), MD Entertainment (5.0%), Gojek Tokopedia (3.1%), and Pantai Indah Kapuk Dua (2.0%).
