Artha Sekuritas analyst Dennies Christopher said the JCI closed higher yesterday in line with the strengthening of the US and European stock markets.

"Investors will pay close attention to the development of bond yields and the rupiah exchange rate. In addition, from economic data, sentiment will be minimal," he said in a daily research.
