JAKARTA - PT Indosurya Bersinar Sekuritas analyst William Suryawijaya said the JCI movement in today's trading, Thursday, August 19, is still under pressure. The support-resistance range is at 5,996-6,178.

"The JCI rate still shows a reasonable pattern of consolidation amid sentiment that will color today's movement," William said in his research.

He said that the sentiment that will affect the JCI movement today is the announcement of Bank Indonesia (BI) regarding the BI 7-Day Reverse Repo Rate. William estimates, the benchmark interest rate will still be held at the level of 3.5 percent.

In addition, he continued, the economic slowdown will still affect the performance of issuers for some time to come. However, in the long term, the trend of improving the national economy could push the JCI up.

"Today the JCI has the potential to be under pressure," said William.

Therefore, said William, Indosurya Sekuritas recommends investors to collect shares of PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk (UNVR), PT HM Sampoerna Tbk (HMSP), PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (TLKM), PT Wijaya Karya Tbk (WIKA), PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BBCA), PT Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur Tbk (ICBP), PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk (INDF), PT Pakuwon Jati Tbk (PWON), and PT Alam Sutera Realty Tbk (ASRI).
