JAKARTA - The Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) is predicted to strengthen to the level of 7,200-7,250 in trading today, Monday, December 18. Phintraco Sekuritas in its research said that this sentiment came from the decisions of a number of world central banks, including Bank Indonesia (BI) which held a Board of Governors Meeting on December 20-21, 2023.

"In line with the Stochastic RSI, which tends to move up and the formation of a golden cross signal on the MACD, this opens up opportunities for a further rebound in the JCI to the range of 7,200-7,250," explained Phintraco Sekuritas research.

Furthermore, this week's sentiment still stems from the decision of a number of world central banks, namely the Fed, ECB and BoE, to hold interest rates again in December 2023. Apart from that, BI will hold a Board of Governors Meeting (RDG) on 20-21 December.

"The central bank is expected to continue holding its benchmark interest rate in December, following the decisions of a number of other central banks. This has the potential to push up the rupiah exchange rate for some time to come," wrote Phintraco Sekuritas.
