Indonesian shares were little changed in Tuesday’s morning session, hovering near a record peak of 8,706, as gains in consumer durables and tech services offset losses in healthcare and utilities. Investors continued to assess strong trade figures from top trading partner China, where the annual trade surplus in January to November surpassed USD 1 trillion for the first time, driven by a pivot toward non-US export markets. Locally, Jakarta faces mounting economic and infrastructure pressures following the large-scale disaster in Sumatra, prompting emergency fiscal support and efforts to restore fuel and electricity. Markets awaited China’s November CPI and PPI updates due Wednesday, alongside key domestic releases this week, including November consumer mood and October retail sales. Top performers included Pradiksi Utama (20%), Merdeka Gold Resources (3.2%), and Avia Avian (2.1%), while Bayan Resources (-3.0%), Barito Renewables (-1.6%), and Bank Central Asia (-0.9%) declined.
