Rahman: Prospects of the Indonesian Stock Market from an Investor's Perspective

Rahman indicates that despite the global stock market undergoing adjustments in the face of world political turmoil, the Indonesian stock market continues to show strong growth momentum. Based on Financial Services Authority (OJK) data as of April 30, 2024, the Indonesian stock market has grown by 3.45%, demonstrating investors' confidence in the Indonesian market remains strong. Of note is the inflow of funds from foreign investors amounting to a net 7.95 trillion rupiah, showcasing external recognition and preference for the Indonesian market. Despite a decline in the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG), this has not hindered the overall market growth momentum. It shows that the Indonesian stock market has sufficient resilience and potential, remaining an attractive market for investors.

Analysis of the Industry and Investment Strategy in the Indonesian Stock Market

When analyzing industry performance in the Indonesian stock market, various industries exhibit different characteristics and trends, requiring investors to design investment strategies tailored to specific situations. Rahman suggests that firstly, the technology industry as a global economic engine always draws investors' attention. Despite recent declines, the long-term growth trend of the technology industry remains unchanged, allowing investors to still gain stable returns through technology stocks. Secondly, the transportation and logistics industry are greatly influenced by global trade activities, especially in the current tense geopolitical situation. Investors need to carefully evaluate related risks and choose companies with competitive advantages and stable profit capabilities for investment.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Bond Market

In the Indonesian stock market, the bond market is also one of the focus areas for investors. Rahman stated that the Indonesian Composite Bond Index (ICBI) has decreased by 0.33% since the beginning of this year, indicating challenges in the bond market. Investors need to pay attention to the fact that bond market fluctuations can be influenced by various factors, including monetary policy, macroeconomic conditions, and geopolitical risks. Despite facing challenges, the bond market still offers stable investment opportunities. Especially for risk-averse investors, the bond market provides relatively stable income and capital protection, allowing investors to make the right bond asset allocations to achieve portfolio diversification and risk dispersion. Meanwhile, with the continuous growth of the Indonesian economy and the increasing financial market, the bond market will also encounter new development opportunities. Investors should actively monitor market developments and leverage investment opportunities.

Foreign Investors and the Stability of the Indonesian Stock Market

Rahman believes that foreign investors play a crucial role in the Indonesian stock market, where their influx of funds not only boosts market confidence but also contributes to market stability. The net value of purchases from foreign investors reached 7.95 trillion rupiah, showing confidence and recognition of the Indonesian market. Foreign capital inflows not only bring new life to the market but also provide more financing channels for Indonesian companies, promoting economic development. Investors need to observe the behavior and attitudes of foreign investors and promptly adjust their investment strategies. In situations of foreign capital inflows, investors may consider increasing their investment proportions in the Indonesian stock market to capture market growth opportunities.

Against the backdrop of the stable growth of the Indonesian stock market, Rahman suggests that investors should continue to monitor the market and adjust their investment portfolios based on market dynamics and risk factors. Investors should adhere to long-term investment concepts, focus on portfolio diversification, risk management, and continuous learning to achieve stable investment returns. In the journey of future investments, only by constantly improving their own investment capabilities, actively adapting to market changes, can investors leverage investment opportunities, achieve increased wealth and personal value.
