While the market showed some signs of recovery, caution prevailed amid concerns over global economic developments. Investors are closely watching the impact of the United States Federal Reserve's recent interest rate cut, which lowered rates by 25 basis points.

Local analysts remain cautious about the outlook for the IDX Composite index.

Mitra Andalan Sekuritas analyst Arwendy Rinaldi Moechtar suggested that the IDX Composite would struggle to break through the 7,500 level in the short term.

"It's tough to see the IDX Composite hitting 7,500 or higher. We may test the support level around 7,000, but a rally to 7,500 seems difficult," he said on Thursday, as quoted by cnbcindonesia.com.
