Binaartha Sekuritas analyst, M. Nafan Aji Gustama said, from domestic, negative sentiment came from the Indonesian trade balance which experienced a surplus of around US $ 740 million, but it was still below consensus expectations which projected in the range of US $ 760 million-800 million.

"On the other hand, the news of car sales data as of March which fell 15 percent is also a negative sentiment," Nafan told VOI.
