RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Indonesia’s financial markets are under pressure as manufacturing data shows a contraction. The S&P Global Manufacturing PMI dropped to 46.9 in June, signaling a slowdown that weighs on both the stock market and the local currency.
While the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) opened higher, Wednesday, 1 July 2026, largely supported by positive trends in Asian markets, the gain remains fragile. In contrast, the Rupiah has weakened significantly, approaching the 18,000 level against the US Dollar.
Market participants are awaiting key economic reports, specifically national inflation and trade balance data. These releases are critical, as they could influence the future performance of the Rupiah.
Beyond domestic factors, international market sentiment also plays a key role. Global gold prices have declined amid strong speculation that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates.
As investors await further news, they remain cautious about the economic outlook. The combination of domestic data and global monetary policy will likely influence the next phase of market direction.
