JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — Indonesia’s JCI hits a new record on Wednesday, Nov 26, 2025 in Jakarta as expectations of a December Federal Reserve rate cut surge and global liquidity returns to emerging markets, pushing the index closer to the 9,000 mark. The rally comes despite heavy foreign selling, underscoring deep domestic demand that continues to absorb outflows and redirect interest toward big caps and energy names.

Foreign investors recorded net sales of about Rp 550.45 billion as they reduced positions in major banks and cement producers, while domestic investors bought aggressively across sectors. The index closed near 8,604 after a 0.94 percent jump, driven by gains in energy, basic materials, financials, and infrastructure stocks.

The probability of a December US policy-rate cut rose sharply from 40 percent to 85 percent, a shift that had boosted risk appetite across global markets. The renewed dovish expectation widened Indonesia’s yield premium and strengthened demand for local risk assets as investors repositioned for 2026.

Market analyst and Founder of Republik Investor Hendra Wardana said the strength of Wednesday’s rally highlighted growing confidence in Indonesia’s macro outlook. He noted that the combination of stable GDP growth near 5 percent, a resilient rupiah, and the prospect of monetary easing by Bank Indonesia had supported the market’s upward momentum. “With this strong momentum, the target for the JCI to reach 9,000 by the end of 2025 is becoming increasingly realistic,” he said.

Strong buying interest also emerged in shares linked to domestic conglomerates, especially energy and mining plays, which benefited from improving commodity sentiment. Stocks controlled by investor Happy Hapsoro, including RAJA, RATU, MINA, and UANG, advanced sharply and supported overall index gains.

Speculative momentum remained visible as multiple mid- and small-cap stocks hit the upper trading limit. Shares such as JAWA, DNAR, MINA, and CASA rose between 20 and 35 percent, reflecting strong retail engagement. Other high-beta names including UNTD, SSTM, BOGA, and PURI also booked double-digit increases.

The record high followed a brief pullback on Tuesday when the index fell due to profit-taking in large-cap companies tied to major diversified groups. Despite that decline, foreign investors booked a net buy of Rp 718.62 billion, with BRMS and BUMI leading inflows as global commodity prices stabilized.

Analysts said foreign participation was likely to strengthen if the Fed confirmed its dovish stance in December. They added that falling US Treasury yields could increase the appeal of Indonesian government bonds and deepen foreign interest in big caps such as BBCA, BBRI, BMRI, ASII, and TLKM.

Energy and construction names were viewed as attractive accumulation targets as investors anticipated improving sector activity in 2026. Stocks such as BUMI, SMGR, SCMA, and DEWA were among those highlighted for medium-term positioning.
