Gotrade News - The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) closed the first trading session on Friday (March 27, 2026) in the red, dropping 0.88% to 7,101. This decline was attributed to the weakening of industrial and infrastructure stocks.
Trade volume reached Rp5.71 trillion with a total of 10.6 billion shares exchanged. The transaction frequency recorded at 790,000 times indicates high but sluggish market activity.
Overall, 230 stocks gained, 385 declined, and 195 remained unchanged. The industrial sector saw a significant drop of 1.52%, while the infrastructure sector fell 1.3%.
