The JCI concluded the week at 6,175.5, while the overall market capitalization of the Indonesia Stock Exchange expanded to Rp10,749 trillion ($598.2 billion).
Key players in this rally included prominent financial institutions such as Bank Mandiri, Bank Central Asia, and Bank Rakyat Indonesia. The rising share prices of these banks made substantial contributions to the benchmark index’s growth. In addition to the banks, other major companies like Telkom Indonesia, Astra International, and Amman Mineral Internasional supported the upward momentum in the market, enhancing investor confidence and market performance.
The week also witnessed a notable increase in trading activity, with the average daily trading value climbing by over 36%. This surge in activity reflects heightened investor interest and engagement in the market. Among the individual stocks, Asia Sejahtera Mina (AGAR) stood out with an exceptional performance, experiencing a remarkable rise of over 138%.
