Daily Foreign & Domestic Sector Movement
Foreign inflows of IDR260 billion flocked into JCI. Foreign investors still targeted the banking sector, as BBCA’s stocks secured the net buy of nearly IDR130 billion. In 2019, JCI has accounted for foreign inflows of IDR11.5 trillion, while the bonds markets have had inflows of IDR34 trillion. BI’s cautious stance builds foreign investors’ confidence in rupiah’s stability.

Corrections to the coal sector are underlined by South Korean’s regulation of renewable energy as the world’s fourth biggest coal importer (11% of the total world’s demand).
