Indonesia’s main stock index rises 1.04% to close at 6,093.76

Indonesia’s main stock index, the Jakarta Composite Index, rose 1.04% on Friday and closed at 6,093.76.

The index fell below 6,000 during the day before recovering and finishing near its high.

Most stocks rose: two reports counted 381 gainers, 238 decliners and 172 unchanged shares.

The reports give different trading-value figures, ranging from about 8.44 trillion to 9.95 trillion rupiah.

Industry shares were among the strongest, though one report put their gain at 2.1% and another at 2.76%.

The rise matters because the index summarizes the performance of shares listed on Indonesia’s stock exchange.

Investors were also watching Indonesian retail sales, domestic consumption and global energy-price risks, but the reports give no forecast for the index’s next move.
