The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) was up by 10.61 points or 0.24 percent to 4,472.83 during Friday's final trading session. Meanwhile, the index of 45 most liquid stocks (LQ45) strengthened by 3.56 points (0.47 percent) to 762.89.
Asjaya Indosurya Securities analyst William Surya Wijaya said domestic sentiments supported the market, and were good enough to offset negative sentiments from external factors, which have pressured the rupiah.
In the spot market, the rupiah closed 77 points weaker on Friday, to 13,674 per US dollar.
'It happened due to technical factors, as the stock benchmark index was squeezed in the middle of the week. Thus, the market is consolidating while it waits for the Federal Reserve's measures on US interest rates,' William said as quoted by Antara news agency in Jakarta on Friday.
At Friday's close, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) recorded 182,453 transactions with a volume of 2.81 billion shares worth Rp 3.24 trillion. As many as 98 stocks strengthened and 168 stocks declined while 90 stocks remained flat.
In regional markets, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index weakened 2.15 percent, Japan's Nikkei Index dropped 0.51 percent and Singapore's Straits Times Index weakened 1.02 percent. (ags)
