JAKARTA - The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) closed lower on the weekend trading. JCI closed down 0.43 percent or 19.26 points to the level of 4,494.58.

Binaartha Sekuritas analyst, M. Nafan Aji Gustama said the weakening of the JCI was driven by the rhetoric of the trade war between the United States and China.
"The weakening is also influenced by the threat of the second wave of COVID-19," Nafan told VOI.
Another sentiment affecting the JCI is Indonesia's trade balance as of April 2020, which was a deficit of 350 million US dollars.
