From domestic, there was a weakening of the bank's share price on Thursday, after the decision to increase the benchmark interest rate of Bank Indonesia (BI) on Wednesday, April 24. This condition coincided with the weakening of the rupiah exchange rate by 0.20 percent to Rp. 16,188 per US dollar on Thursday.

"The domestic financial market still seems to need time to respond to BI's latest monetary policy," explained Pintraco Sekuritas research.

In the future, the market will pay close attention to the progress of the data and the conditions above. Meanwhile, from the global aspect, the direction of policy for benchmark interest rates in Europe can be the most observed external factor today.

The stocks recommended by Phintraco Sekuritas today include ICBP, INDF, MYOR, ESSA, and HRUM.
