JAKARTA - The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) closed higher on Wednesday, July 1 trading. JCI closed slightly higher 0.18 percent or 9.00 points to 4,914.39.

Binaartha Sekuritas analyst, M. Nafan Aji Gustama said, the rising inflation data and core inflation in the country is a sentiment that is a barrier for the JCI to experience a significant increase today.

"However, the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data from developed economies which showed a positive trend provided good sentiment for the JCI so that it could close in the positive zone," Nafan told VOI.
