JAKARTA - The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) closed in the green zone on Tuesday, September 1 trading. JCI closed up 1.38 percent or 72.19 points to the level of 5,310.68.

Binaartha Sekuritas analyst, M. Nafan Aji Gusta Utama, said that the strengthening of the JCI was driven by the hope that the PMI manufacturing performance in European and US countries is predicted to be expansive.

"On the other hand, the stability of inflation and the expansion of Indonesia's PMI manufacturing data also supports the strengthening performance of the JCI," Nafan told VOI.
