IHSG Hits Record High Amid Stable Domestic Economic Data

January 5, 2026 | 07:29 pm

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesia Composite Index (IHSG) hit an all-time high on Monday, January 5, 2026. Domestic economic data remained stable, pushing the index upward. IHSG climbed by 111.06 points, or 1.27 percent, to finish at 8,859.19. Meanwhile, the LQ45 index, representing the 45 most liquid stocks, gained 7.77 points to reach 859.77.

"The rise of IHSG follows the trend in Asian stock markets. It is also backed by positive domestic data, including a trade surplus and controlled inflation," said Maximilianus Nico Demus, Associate Director at Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas.

At home, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported a trade surplus of US$2.66 billion. Inflation for December 2025 was recorded at 0.64 percent month-to-month and 2.92 percent year-on-year. Analysts expect the total inflation rate for 2025 to stay within Bank Indonesia’s target range of 1.5 to 3.5 percent.

Foreign news also shaped the market's mood. Investors appeared to ignore geopolitical risks from the recent US attack on Venezuela. Instead, they focused on private surveys from China. Data shows that Chinese business activity grew for the seventh straight month in December 2025, even though the index dipped slightly from 52.1 to 52.0.

This growth reflects stronger service activities and a recovery in factory production. Chinese President Xi Jinping suggested that the government will use more proactive policies in 2026 in a bid to keep the momentum going after the country achieved nearly 5 percent growth in 2025.

The IHSG opened higher and stayed in positive territory during the morning session. This momentum continued into the afternoon, keeping the index in the green until the closing bell. Ten out of eleven sectors gained value, signaling broad confidence in the market.

The transportation and logistics sector led the rally with a 2.21 percent rise. Raw materials and energy followed closely, gaining 2.08 percent and 1.76 percent. Only the technology sector fell, dropping 0.50 percent by the end of the day.

Trading activity was high, with over 4 million transactions recorded. A total of 70.26 billion shares changed hands, worth Rp30.32 trillion. Overall, 446 stocks increased in value, 246 declined, and 114 remained unchanged.

Other Asian markets also saw strong gains this afternoon. Japan’s Nikkei index jumped 2.97 percent, while the Shanghai index rose 1.38 percent. The Straits Times in Singapore also closed higher, adding 0.52 percent to the regional winning streak.
