RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Financial markets experienced a broad rebound today, 5 March 2026. There were no major economic events influencing market movements.
Investors are monitoring potential that the United States may impose a 15% import tariff this week. At the same time, investors are still closely watching the ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States.
Because of the limited economic news, traders are focusing on geopolitical developments in the Middle East. Many Asian stock markets were seen trading in positive territory during the morning session.
Indonesia’s Composite Stock Index (IHSG) opened higher at 7,695. The index may continue to follow the broader Asian market trend, which has shown gains so far.
Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index weakened to 98.78. In contrast, the 10-year US Treasury yield rose to 4.096%.
The Indonesian rupiah strengthened against the US dollar to 16,865. It is expected to move within the range of 16,830 to 16,890 during trading.
Global gold prices were relatively stable at about $5,165 per troy ounce, or roughly 2.8 million rupiah per gram. The Iran–Israel conflict, which has lasted six days, has kept gold prices steady.
The upward trend in gold prices is restrained by inflation expectations. This situation could give the US Federal Reserve a reason to delay interest rate cuts.
