Research from Pilarmas Investindo Sekuritas explained that domestically, sentiment toward the Composite index derived from Bank Indonesia, which reported that by the third week of May 2024, foreign investor capital inflows into the country amounted to Rp 22.06 trillion.
These foreign capital inflows came from the government securities market (SBN), the stock market, and Bank Indonesia's rupiah securities (SRBI).
"The influx of foreign capital into the country undoubtedly reflects confidence in the attractiveness of the domestic economy for investors to invest in. Moreover, with the influx of foreign funds from the domestic financial market, Indonesia's investment risk premium has decreased," said Pilarmas Sekuritas.
While the Composite index fell on Monday, most Asian stock indices rose. Shanghai increased by 0.54 percent, the Hang Seng by 0.42 percent in Hong Kong and the Nikkei by 0.73 percent in Tokyo. Singapore's Straits Times index also went up by 0.15 percent.
