## Archyde Interview: Indonesian stock Market Downturn
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Market Watch. Today we’re discussing the unexpected dip in Jakarta’s stock market, which saw the composite stock price index, the IHSG, fall below the 7,000 mark. With us to analyze this development is [Alex Reed Name], a seasoned financial analyst with [Alex Reed Credentials].
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me.
**Host:** Let’s jump right in. The IHSG closed at 6,977.2 on Thursday, December 19th, a 1.84% decrease from the previous day. What factors could be contributing to this decline?
**Alex Reed:** Several factors appear to be at play. We’re seeing a significant amount of net selling from foreign investors. On December 19th alone, they sold IDR 944 billion worth of shares across the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This selling pressure undoubtedly contributed to the downward trend.
**Host:** That’s a substantial sum. Do you have any insights into why foreign investors might be pulling back from the Indonesian market?
**Alex Reed:** It’s difficult to pinpoint a single reason without further information, but globally, there are concerns about a potential economic slowdown. Rising interest rates and inflation in several major economies are creating uncertainty and prompting investors to adjust their portfolios. Indonesia, unluckily, isn’t immune to these global trends.
**Host:** You mentioned specific sectors being impacted by these sell-offs. Can you elaborate?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely. The largest net sell transactions were concentrated in shares of major banks, namely Bank rakyat Indonesia (BBRI), Bank Central Asia (BBCA), and Bank Mandiri (BMRI). This suggests that some foreign investors might be reassessing their exposure to the financial sector given the perceived risks.
**Host:** Interesting. Was there any positive news amidst this general downturn?
**Alex Reed:** yes, interestingly, PT Daya Intiguna Yasa Tbk (MDIY), also known as MR DIY, saw the highest net buy activity from foreign investors, totaling IDR 180.7 billion, coinciding with its debut on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This suggests continued confidence in the company’s growth prospects despite the broader market trend.
**Host:** Thank you for providing such insightful analysis. To our viewers, we encourage you to stay informed and consult with financial professionals before making investment decisions. This has been archyde’s Market Watch. We’ll see you next time.
