The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) closed lower on Monday, dropping 10.65 points or 0.17% to finish at 6,185.78.

Trading volume remained subdued as market participants adopted a wait-and-see approach ahead of key policy developments in both the United States and Indonesia.

Investor sentiment was dampened by uncertainty surrounding the upcoming US Federal Reserve interest rate decision.

With global markets closely watching for signals on the direction of US monetary policy, local traders reduced exposure to mitigate potential volatility from overseas repricing.

Domestically, the market is digesting the recent resignation of Perry Warjiyo as Governor of Bank Indonesia.

The leadership change at the central bank has introduced a layer of policy uncertainty, with investors awaiting clarity on the successor’s stance on inflation targeting and currency stability.
