JAKARTA - The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) closed lower on Monday, June 15 trading. JCI closed down 1.31 percent or 64.02 points to 4,816.34.

Closing the trade, 158 stocks rose, 288 shares fell, and 126 stocks were stagnant. The trading volume was recorded at 8.65 billion shares and in transactions valued at Rp. 8.01 trillion.

Binaartha Sekuritas analyst, M. Nafan Aji Gustama, said that the JCI was positive among stock exchange movements in the Asian region, considering that the market appreciates the policy of the DKI Jakarta provincial government in opening malls in the capital.

"On the other hand, market players also appreciate the performance of the trade balance as of May, which is beyond expectations which experienced a significant surplus of 2.09 billion US dollars," Nafan explained to VOI.

Even so, he said, because the majority of Asian markets were flushed due to fears of a second wave of COVID-19 (second wave), coupled with various Chinese macroeconomic data that was below market expectations, the JCI was affected by a negative domino effect from this.
